Abstract
BACKGROUND Notwithstanding the encouraging results of previous studies reporting on the efficiency of deep learning (DL) in COVID-19 prognostication, clinical adoption of the developed methodology still needs to be improved. To overcome this limitation, we set out to predict the prognosis of a large multi-institutional cohort of patients with COVID-19 using a DL-based model. PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the performance of deep privacy-preserving federated learning (DPFL) in predicting COVID-19 outcomes using chest CT images. METHODS After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 3055 patients from 19 centers, including 1599 alive and 1456 deceased, were enrolled in this study. Data from all centers were split (randomly with stratification respective to each center and class) into a training/validation set (70%/10%) and a hold-out test set (20%). For the DL model, feature extraction was performed on 2D slices, and averaging was performed at the final layer to construct a 3D model for each scan. The DensNet model was used for feature extraction. The model was developed using centralized and FL approaches. For FL, we employed DPFL approaches. Membership inference attack was also evaluated in the FL strategy. For model evaluation, different metrics were reported in the hold-out test sets. In addition, models trained in two scenarios, centralized and FL, were compared using the DeLong test for statistical differences. RESULTS The centralized model achieved an accuracy of 0.76, while the DPFL model had an accuracy of 0.75. Both the centralized and DPFL models achieved a specificity of 0.77. The centralized model achieved a sensitivity of 0.74, while the DPFL model had a sensitivity of 0.73. A mean AUC of 0.82 and 0.81 with 95% confidence intervals of (95% CI: 0.79-0.85) and (95% CI: 0.77-0.84) were achieved by the centralized model and the DPFL model, respectively. The DeLong test did not prove statistically significant differences between the two models (p-value = 0.98). The AUC values for the inference attacks fluctuate between 0.49 and 0.51, with an average of 0.50 ± 0.003 and 95% CI for the mean AUC of 0.500 to 0.501. CONCLUSION The performance of the proposed model was comparable to centralized models while operating on large and heterogeneous multi-institutional datasets. In addition, the model was resistant to inference attacks, ensuring the privacy of shared data during the training process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the value of clinical, radiomic features extracted from gross tumor volumes (GTVs) delineated on CT images, dose distributions (Dosiomics), and fusion of CT and dose distributions to predict outcomes in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. METHODS A cohort of 240 HNC patients from five different centers was obtained from The Cancer Imaging Archive. Seven strategies, including four non-fusion (Clinical, CT, Dose, DualCT-Dose), and three fusion algorithms (latent low-rank representation referred (LLRR),Wavelet, weighted least square (WLS)) were applied. The fusion algorithms were used to fuse the pre-treatment CT images and 3-dimensional dose maps. Overall, 215 radiomics and Dosiomics features were extracted from the GTVs, alongside with seven clinical features incorporated. Five feature selection (FS) methods in combination with six machine learning (ML) models were implemented. The performance of the models was quantified using the concordance index (CI) in one-center-leave-out 5-fold cross-validation for overall survival (OS) prediction considering the time-to-event. RESULTS The mean CI and Kaplan-Meier curves were used for further comparisons. The CoxBoost ML model using the Minimal Depth (MD) FS method and the glmnet model using the Variable hunting (VH) FS method showed the best performance with CI = 0.73 ± 0.15 for features extracted from LLRR fused images. In addition, both glmnet-Cindex and Coxph-Cindex classifiers achieved a CI of 0.72 ± 0.14 by employing the dose images (+ incorporated clinical features) only. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that clinical features, Dosiomics and fusion of dose and CT images by specific ML-FS models could predict the overall survival of HNC patients with acceptable accuracy. Besides, the performance of ML methods among the three different strategies was almost comparable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few studies for detecting rhythm abnormalities among healthy children and adolescents. The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of abnormal electrocardiographic findings in the young Iranian population and its association with blood pressure and obesity. METHODS A total of 15084 children and adolescents were examined in a randomly selected population of Tehran city, Iran, between October 2017 and December 2018. Anthropometric values and blood pressure measurements were also assessed. A standard 12-lead electrocardiogram was recorded by a unique recorder, and those were examined by electrophysiologists. RESULTS All students mean age was 12.3 ± 3.1 years (6-18 years), and 52% were boys. A total of 2900 students (192.2/1000 persons; 95% confidence interval 186-198.6) had electrocardiographic abnormalities. The rate of electrocardiographic abnormalities was higher in boys than girls (p < 0.001). Electrocardiographic abnormalities were significantly higher in thin than obese students (p < 0.001), and there was a trend towards hypertensive individuals to have more electrocardiographic abnormalities compared to normotensive individuals (p = 0.063). Based on the multivariable analysis, individuals with electrocardiographic abnormalities were less likely to be girls (odds ratio 0.745, 95% confidence interval 0.682-0.814) and had a lower body mass index (odds ratio 0.961, 95% confidence interval 0.944-0.979). CONCLUSIONS In this large-scale study, there was a high prevalence of electrocardiographic abnormalities among young population. In addition, electrocardiographic findings were significantly influenced by increasing age, sex, obesity, and blood pressure levels. This community-based study revealed the implications of electrocardiographic screening to improve the care delivery by early detection.

Abstract
PROPOSE An electrocardiogram (ECG) has been extensively used to detect rhythm disturbances. We sought to determine the accuracy of different machine learning in distinguishing abnormal ECGs from normal ones in children who were examined using a resting 12-Lead ECG machine, and we also compared the manual and automated measurement using the modular ECG Analysis System (MEANS) algorithm of ECG features. METHODS Altogether, 10745 ECGs were recorded for students aged 6 to 18. Manual and automatic ECG features were extracted for each participant. Features were normalized using Z-score normalization and went through the student's t-test and chi-squared test to measure their relevance. We applied the Boruta algorithm for feature selection and then implemented eight classifier algorithms. The dataset was split into training (80%) and test (20%) partitions. The performance of the classifiers was evaluated on the test data (unseen data) by 1000 bootstrap, and sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), AUC, and accuracy (ACC) were reported. RESULTS In univariate analysis, the highest performance was heart rate and RR interval in the manual dataset and heart rate in an automated dataset with AUC of 0.72 and 0.71, respectively. The best classifiers in the manual dataset were random forest (RF) and quadratic-discriminant-analysis (QDA) with AUC, ACC, SEN, and SPE equal to 0.93, 0.98, 0.69, 0.99, and 0.90, 0.95, 0.75, 0.96, respectively. In the automated dataset, QDA (AUC: 0.89, ACC:0.92, SEN:0.71, SPE:0.93) and stack learning (SL) (AUC:0.89, ACC:0.96, SEN:0.61, SPE:0.99) reached best performances. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that the manual measurement of 12-Lead ECG features had better performance than the automated measurement (MEANS algorithm), but some classifiers had promising results in discriminating between normal and abnormal cases. Further studies can help us evaluate the applicability and efficacy of machine-learning approaches for distinguishing abnormal ECGs in community-based investigations in both adults and children.

Abstract
PURPOSE Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) represents the predominant aggressive primary tumor of the brain with short overall survival (OS) time. We aim to assess the potential of radiomic features in predicting the time-to-event OS of patients with GBM using machine learning (ML) algorithms. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred nineteen patients with GBM, who had T1-weighted contrast-enhanced and T2-FLAIR MRI sequences, along with clinical data and survival time, were enrolled. Image preprocessing methods included 64 bin discretization, Laplacian of Gaussian (LOG) filters with three Sigma values and eight variations of Wavelet Transform. Images were then segmented, followed by the extraction of 1212 radiomic features. Seven feature selection (FS) methods and six time-to-event ML algorithms were utilized. The combination of preprocessing, FS, and ML algorithms (12 × 7 × 6 = 504 models) was evaluated by multivariate analysis. RESULTS Our multivariate analysis showed that the best prognostic FS/ML combinations are the Mutual Information (MI)/Cox Boost, MI/Generalized Linear Model Boosting (GLMB) and MI/Generalized Linear Model Network (GLMN), all of which were done via the LOG (Sigma = 1 mm) preprocessing method (C-index = 0.77). The LOG filter with Sigma = 1 mm preprocessing method, MI, GLMB and GLMN achieved significantly higher C-indices than other preprocessing, FS, and ML methods (all p values < 0.05, mean C-indices of 0.65, 0.70, and 0.64, respectively). CONCLUSION ML algorithms are capable of predicting the time-to-event OS of patients using MRI-based radiomic and clinical features. MRI-based radiomics analysis in combination with clinical variables might appear promising in assisting clinicians in the survival prediction of patients with GBM. Further research is needed to establish the applicability of radiomics in the management of GBM in the clinic.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to build radiomic models for classifying non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) histopathological subtypes through a dual-centre dataset and comprehensively evaluate the effect of ComBat harmonisation on the performance of single- and multimodality radiomic models. MATERIALS AND METHODS A public dataset of NSCLC patients from two independent centres was used. Two image fusion methods, namely guided filtering-based fusion and image fusion based on visual saliency map and weighted least square optimisation, were used. Radiomic features were extracted from each scan, including first-order, texture and moment-invariant features. Subsequently, ComBat harmonisation was applied to the extracted features from computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET) and fused images to correct the centre effect. For feature selection, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) and recursive feature elimination (RFE) were investigated. For machine learning, logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM) and AdaBoost were evaluated for classifying NSCLC subtypes. Training and evaluation of the models were carried out in a robust framework to offset plausible errors and performance was reported using area under the curve, balanced accuracy, sensitivity and specificity before and after harmonisation. N-way ANOVA was used to assess the effect of different factors on the performance of the models. RESULTS Support vector machine fed with selected features by recursive feature elimination from a harmonised PET feature set achieved the highest performance (area under the curve = 0.82) in classifying NSCLC histopathological subtypes. Although the performance of the models did not significantly improve for CT images after harmonisation, the performance of PET and guided filtering-based fusion feature signatures significantly improved for almost all models. Although the selection of the image modality and feature selection methods was effective on the performance of the model (ANOVA P-values <0.001), machine learning and harmonisation did not change the performance significantly (ANOVA P-values = 0.839 and 0.292, respectively). CONCLUSION This study confirmed the potential of radiomic analysis on PET, CT and hybrid images for histopathological classification of NSCLC subtypes.

Abstract
A U-shaped contraction pattern was shown to be associated with a better Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response. The main goal of this study is to automatically recognize left ventricular contractile patterns using machine learning algorithms trained on conventional quantitative features (ConQuaFea) and radiomic features extracted from Gated single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (GSPECT MPI). Among 98 patients with standard resting GSPECT MPI included in this study, 29 received CRT therapy and 69 did not (also had CRT inclusion criteria but did not receive treatment yet at the time of data collection, or refused treatment). A total of 69 non-CRT patients were employed for training, and the 29 were employed for testing. The models were built utilizing features from three distinct feature sets (ConQuaFea, radiomics, and ConQuaFea + radiomics (combined)), which were chosen using Recursive feature elimination (RFE) feature selection (FS), and then trained using seven different machine learning (ML) classifiers. In addition, CRT outcome prediction was assessed by different treatment inclusion criteria as the study's final phase. The MLP classifier had the highest performance among ConQuaFea models (AUC, SEN, SPE = 0.80, 0.85, 0.76). RF achieved the best performance in terms of AUC, SEN, and SPE with values of 0.65, 0.62, and 0.68, respectively, among radiomic models. GB and RF approaches achieved the best AUC, SEN, and SPE values of 0.78, 0.92, and 0.63 and 0.74, 0.93, and 0.56, respectively, among the combined models. A promising outcome was obtained when using radiomic and ConQuaFea from GSPECT MPI to detect left ventricular contractile patterns by machine learning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients' rights are integral to medical ethics. This study aimed to perform sentiment analysis and opinion mining on patients' messages by a combination of lexicon-based and machine learning methods to identify positive or negative comments and to determine the different ward and staff names mentioned in patients' messages. METHODS The level of satisfaction and observance of the rights of 250 service recipients of the hospital was evaluated through the related checklists by the evaluator. In total, 822 Persian messages, composed of 540 negative and 282 positive comments, were collected and labeled by the evaluator. Pre-processing was performed on the messages and followed by 2 feature vectors which were extracted from the messages, including the term frequency-inverse document frequency (TFIDF) vector and a combination of the multifeature (MF) (a lexicon-based method) and TFIDF (MF + TFIDF) vectors. Six feature selectors and 5 classifiers were used in this study. For the evaluations, 5-fold cross-validation with different metrics including area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), accuracy (ACC), F1 score, sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE) and Precision-Recall Curves (PRC) were reported. Message tag detection, which featured different hospital wards and identified staff names mentioned in the study patients' messages, was implemented by the lexicon-based method. RESULTS The best classifier was Multinomial Naïve Bayes in combination with MF + TFIDF feature vector and SelectFromModel (SFM) feature selection (ACC = 0.89 ± 0.03, AUC = 0.87 ± 0.03, F1 = 0.92 ± 0.03, SEN = 0.93 ± 0.04, and SPE = 0.82 ± 0.02, PRC-AUC = 0.97). Two methods of assessment by the evaluator and artificial intelligence as well as survey systems were compared. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that the lexicon-based method, in combination with machine learning classifiers, could extract sentiments in patients' comments and classify them into positive and negative categories. We also developed an online survey system to analyze patients' satisfaction in different wards and to remove conventional assessments by the evaluator.

Abstract
PURPOSE Whole-body bone scintigraphy (WBS) is one of the most widely used modalities in diagnosing malignant bone diseases during the early stages. However, the procedure is time-consuming and requires vigour and experience. Moreover, interpretation of WBS scans in the early stages of the disorders might be challenging because the patterns often reflect normal appearance that is prone to subjective interpretation. To simplify the gruelling, subjective, and prone-to-error task of interpreting WBS scans, we developed deep learning (DL) models to automate two major analyses, namely (i) classification of scans into normal and abnormal and (ii) discrimination between malignant and non-neoplastic bone diseases, and compared their performance with human observers. MATERIALS AND METHODS After applying our exclusion criteria on 7188 patients from three different centers, 3772 and 2248 patients were enrolled for the first and second analyses, respectively. Data were split into two parts, including training and testing, while a fraction of training data were considered for validation. Ten different CNN models were applied to single- and dual-view input (posterior and anterior views) modes to find the optimal model for each analysis. In addition, three different methods, including squeeze-and-excitation (SE), spatial pyramid pooling (SPP), and attention-augmented (AA), were used to aggregate the features for dual-view input models. Model performance was reported through area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity and was compared with the DeLong test applied to ROC curves. The test dataset was evaluated by three nuclear medicine physicians (NMPs) with different levels of experience to compare the performance of AI and human observers. RESULTS DenseNet121_AA (DensNet121, with dual-view input aggregated by AA) and InceptionResNetV2_SPP achieved the highest performance (AUC = 0.72) for the first and second analyses, respectively. Moreover, on average, in the first analysis, Inception V3 and InceptionResNetV2 CNN models and dual-view input with AA aggregating method had superior performance. In addition, in the second analysis, DenseNet121 and InceptionResNetV2 as CNN methods and dual-view input with AA aggregating method achieved the best results. Conversely, the performance of AI models was significantly higher than human observers for the first analysis, whereas their performance was comparable in the second analysis, although the AI model assessed the scans in a drastically lower time. CONCLUSION Using the models designed in this study, a positive step can be taken toward improving and optimizing WBS interpretation. By training DL models with larger and more diverse cohorts, AI could potentially be used to assist physicians in the assessment of WBS images.

Abstract
The main aim of the present study was to predict myocardial function improvement in cardiac MR (LGE-CMR) images in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using radiomics and machine learning algorithms. Altogether, 43 patients who had visible scars on short-axis LGE-CMR images and were candidates for CABG surgery were selected and enrolled in this study. MR imaging was performed preoperatively using a 1.5-T MRI scanner. All images were segmented by two expert radiologists (in consensus). Prior to extraction of radiomics features, all MR images were resampled to an isotropic voxel size of 1.8 × 1.8 × 1.8 mm3. Subsequently, intensities were quantized to 64 discretized gray levels and a total of 93 features were extracted. The applied algorithms included a smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD)-penalized support vector machine (SVM) and the recursive partitioning (RP) algorithm as a robust classifier for binary classification in this high-dimensional and non-sparse data. All models were validated with repeated fivefold cross-validation and 10,000 bootstrapping resamples. Ten and seven features were selected with SCAD-penalized SVM and RP algorithm, respectively, for CABG responder/non-responder classification. Considering univariate analysis, the GLSZM gray-level non-uniformity-normalized feature achieved the best performance (AUC: 0.62, 95% CI: 0.53-0.76) with SCAD-penalized SVM. Regarding multivariable modeling, SCAD-penalized SVM obtained an AUC of 0.784 (95% CI: 0.64-0.92), whereas the RP algorithm achieved an AUC of 0.654 (95% CI: 0.50-0.82). In conclusion, different radiomics texture features alone or combined in multivariate analysis using machine learning algorithms provide prognostic information regarding myocardial function in patients after CABG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to analyze the prognostic power of CT-based radiomics models using data of 14,339 COVID-19 patients. METHODS Whole lung segmentations were performed automatically using a deep learning-based model to extract 107 intensity and texture radiomics features. We used four feature selection algorithms and seven classifiers. We evaluated the models using ten different splitting and cross-validation strategies, including non-harmonized and ComBat-harmonized datasets. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were reported. RESULTS In the test dataset (4,301) consisting of CT and/or RT-PCR positive cases, AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.83 ± 0.01 (CI95%: 0.81-0.85), 0.81, and 0.72, respectively, were obtained by ANOVA feature selector + Random Forest (RF) classifier. Similar results were achieved in RT-PCR-only positive test sets (3,644). In ComBat harmonized dataset, Relief feature selector + RF classifier resulted in the highest performance of AUC, reaching 0.83 ± 0.01 (CI95%: 0.81-0.85), with a sensitivity and specificity of 0.77 and 0.74, respectively. ComBat harmonization did not depict statistically significant improvement compared to a non-harmonized dataset. In leave-one-center-out, the combination of ANOVA feature selector and RF classifier resulted in the highest performance. CONCLUSION Lung CT radiomics features can be used for robust prognostic modeling of COVID-19. The predictive power of the proposed CT radiomics model is more reliable when using a large multicentric heterogeneous dataset, and may be used prospectively in clinical setting to manage COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this work was to assess the robustness of cardiac SPECT radiomic features against changes in imaging settings, including acquisition, and reconstruction parameters. METHODS Four commercial SPECT and SPECT/CT cameras were used to acquire images of a static cardiac phantom mimicking typical myorcardial perfusion imaging using 185 MBq of 99mTc. The effects of different image acquisition and reconstruction parameters, including number of views, view matrix size, attenuation correction, as well as image reconstruction related parameters (algorithm, number of iterations, number of subsets, type of post-reconstruction filter, and its associated parameters, including filter order and cut-off frequency) were studied. In total, 5,063 transverse views were reconstructed by varying the aforementioned factors. Eighty-seven radiomic features including first-, second-, and high-order textures were extracted from these images. To assess reproducibility and repeatability, the coefficient of variation (COV), as a widely adopted metric, was measured for each of the radiomic features over the different imaging settings. RESULTS The Inverse Difference Moment Normalized (IDMN) and Inverse Difference Normalized (IDN) features from the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), Run Percentage (RP) from the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLRLM), Zone Entropy (ZE) from the Gray Level Size Zone Matrix (GLSZM), and Dependence Entropy (DE) from the Gray Level Dependence Matrix (GLDM) feature sets were the only features that exhibited high reproducibility (COV ≤ 5%) against changes in all imaging settings. In addition, Large Area Low Gray Level Emphasis (LALGLE), Small Area Low Gray Level Emphasis (SALGLE) and Low Gray Level Zone Emphasis (LGLZE) from GLSZM, and Small Dependence Low Gray Level Emphasis (SDLGLE) from GLDM feature sets turned out to be less reproducible (COV > 20%) against changes in imaging settings. The GLRLM (31.88%) and GLDM feature set (54.2%) had the highest (COV < 5%) and lowest (COV > 20%) number of the reproducible features, respectively. Matrix size had the largest impact on feature variability as most of the features were not repeatable when matrix size was modified with 82.8% of them having a COV > 20%. CONCLUSION The repeatability and reproducibility of SPECT/CT cardiac radiomic features under different imaging settings is feature-dependent. Different image acquisition and reconstruction protocols have variable effects on radiomic features. The radiomic features exhibiting low COV are potential candidates for future clinical studies.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to investigate the applicability of radiomic features alone and in combination with clinical information for the prediction of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients' overall survival after partial or radical nephrectomy. Clinical studies of 210 RCC patients from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) who underwent either partial or radical nephrectomy were included in this study. Regions of interest (ROIs) were manually defined on CT images. A total of 225 radiomic features were extracted and analyzed along with the 59 clinical features. An elastic net penalized Cox regression was used for feature selection. Accelerated failure time (AFT) with the shared frailty model was used to determine the effects of the selected features on the overall survival time. Eleven radiomic and twelve clinical features were selected based on their non-zero coefficients. Tumor grade, tumor malignancy, and pathology t-stage were the most significant predictors of overall survival (OS) among the clinical features (p < 0.002, < 0.02, and < 0.018, respectively). The most significant predictors of OS among the selected radiomic features were flatness, area density, and median (p < 0.02, < 0.02, and < 0.05, respectively). Along with important clinical features, such as tumor heterogeneity and tumor grade, imaging biomarkers such as tumor flatness, area density, and median are significantly correlated with OS of RCC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the most important features and assess their discriminative power in the classification of the subtypes of NSCLC. METHODS This study involved 354 pathologically proven NSCLC patients including 134 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), 110 large cell carcinoma (LCC), 62 not other specified (NOS), and 48 adenocarcinoma (ADC). In total, 1433 radiomics features were extracted from 3D volumes of interest drawn on the malignant lesion identified on CT images. Wrapper algorithm and multivariate adaptive regression splines were implemented to identify the most relevant/discriminative features. A multivariable multinomial logistic regression was employed with 1000 bootstrapping samples based on the selected features to classify four main subtypes of NSCLC. RESULTS The results revealed that the texture features, specifically gray level size zone matrix features (GLSZM), were the significant indicators of NSCLC subtypes. The optimized classifier achieved an average precision, recall, F1-score, and accuracy of 0.710, 0.703, 0.706, and 0.865, respectively, based on the selected features by the wrapper algorithm. CONCLUSIONS Our CT radiomics approach demonstrated impressive potential for the classification of the four main histological subtypes of NSCLC, It is anticipated that CT radiomics could be useful in treatment planning and precision medicine.

Abstract
PURPOSE Considerable progress has been made in the assessment and management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients based on mutation status in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene (KRAS). At the same time, NSCLC management through KRAS and EGFR mutation profiling faces challenges. In the present work, we aimed to evaluate a comprehensive radiomics framework that enabled prediction of EGFR and KRAS mutation status in NSCLC patients based on radiomic features from low-dose computed tomography (CT), contrast-enhanced diagnostic quality CT (CTD), and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging modalities and use of machine learning algorithms. METHODS Our study involved NSCLC patients including 150 PET, low-dose CT, and CTD images. Radiomic features from original and preprocessed (including 64 bin discretizing, Laplacian-of-Gaussian (LOG), and Wavelet) images were extracted. Conventional clinically used standard uptake value (SUV) parameters and metabolic tumor volume (MTV) were also obtained from PET images. Highly correlated features were pre-eliminated, and false discovery rate (FDR) correction was performed with the resulting q-values reported for univariate analysis. Six feature selection methods and 12 classifiers were then used for multivariate prediction of gene mutation status (provided by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)) in patients. We performed 10-fold cross-validation for model tuning to improve robustness, and our developed models were assessed on an independent validation set with 68 patients (common in all three imaging modalities). The average area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) was utilized for performance evaluation. RESULTS The best predictive power for conventional PET parameters was achieved by SUVpeak (AUC 0.69, p value = 0.0002) and MTV (AUC 0.55, p value = 0.0011) for EGFR and KRAS, respectively. Univariate analysis of extracted radiomics features improved AUC performance to 0.75 (q-value 0.003, Short-Run Emphasis feature of GLRLM from LOG preprocessed image of PET with sigma value 1.5) and 0.71 (q-value 0.00005, Large Dependence Low Gray-Level Emphasis feature of GLDM in LOG preprocessed image of CTD with sigma value 5) for EGFR and KRAS, respectively. Furthermore, multivariate machine learning-based AUC performances were significantly improved to 0.82 for EGFR (LOG preprocessed image of PET with sigma 3 with variance threshold (VT) feature selector and stochastic gradient descent (SGD) classifier (q-value = 4.86E-05) and 0.83 for KRAS (LOG preprocessed image of CT with sigma 3.5 with select model (SM) feature selector and SGD classifier (q-value = 2.81E-09). CONCLUSION Our work demonstrated that non-invasive and reliable radiomics analysis can be successfully used to predict EGFR and KRAS mutation status in NSCLC patients. We demonstrated that radiomic features extracted from different image-feature sets could be used for EGFR and KRAS mutation status prediction in NSCLC patients and showed improved predictive power relative to conventional image-derived metrics.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the repeatability of radiomic features in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of glioblastoma (GBM) tumors with respect to test-retest, different image registration approaches and inhomogeneity bias field correction. METHODS We analyzed MR images of 17 GBM patients including T1- and T2-weighted images (performed within the same imaging unit on two consecutive days). For image segmentation, we used a comprehensive segmentation approach including entire tumor, active area of tumor, necrotic regions in T1-weighted images, and edema regions in T2-weighted images (test studies only; registration to retest studies is discussed next). Analysis included N3, N4 as well as no bias correction performed on raw MR images. We evaluated 20 image registration approaches, generated by cross-combination of four transformation and five cost function methods. In total, 714 images (17 patients × 2 images × ((4 transformations × 5 cost functions) + 1 test image) and 2856 segmentations (714 images × 4 segmentations) were prepared for feature extraction. Various radiomic features were extracted, including the use of preprocessing filters, specifically wavelet (WAV) and Laplacian of Gaussian (LOG), as well as discretization into fixed bin width and fixed bin count (16, 32, 64, 128, and 256), Exponential, Gradient, Logarithm, Square and Square Root scales. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated to assess the repeatability of MRI radiomic features (high repeatability defined as ICC ≥ 95%). RESULTS In our ICC results, we observed high repeatability (ICC ≥ 95%) with respect to image preprocessing, different image registration algorithms, and test-retest analysis, for example: RLNU and GLNU from GLRLM, GLNU and DNU from GLDM, Coarseness and Busyness from NGTDM, GLNU and ZP from GLSZM, and Energy and RMS from first order. Highest fraction (percent) of repeatable features was observed, among registration techniques, for the method Full Affine transformation with 12 degrees of freedom using Mutual Information cost function (mean 32.4%), and among image processing methods, for the method Laplacian of Gaussian (LOG) with Sigma (2.5-4.5 mm) (mean 78.9%). The trends were relatively consistent for N4, N3, or no bias correction. CONCLUSION Our results showed varying performances in repeatability of MR radiomic features for GBM tumors due to test-retest and image registration. The findings have implications for appropriate usage in diagnostic and predictive models.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify optimal classification methods for computed tomography (CT) radiomics-based preoperative prediction of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) grade. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-one ccRCC patients (31 low grade and 40 high grade) were included in this study. Tumors were manually segmented on CT images followed by the application of three image preprocessing techniques (Laplacian of Gaussian, wavelet filter, and discretization of the intensity values) on delineated tumor volumes. Overall, 2530 radiomics features (tumor shape and size, intensity statistics, and texture) were extracted from each segmented tumor volume. Univariate analysis was performed to assess the association between each feature and the histological condition. Multivariate analysis involved the use of machine learning (ML) algorithms and the following three feature selection algorithms: the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, Student's t test, and minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance. These selected features were then used to construct three classification models (SVM, random forest, and logistic regression) to discriminate high from low-grade ccRCC at nephrectomy. Lastly, multivariate model performance was evaluated on the bootstrapped validation cohort using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) metric. RESULTS The univariate analysis demonstrated that among the different image sets, 128 bin-discretized images have statistically significant different texture parameters with a mean AUC of 0.74 ± 3 (q value < 0.05). The three ML-based classifiers showed proficient discrimination between high and low-grade ccRCC. The AUC was 0.78 for logistic regression, 0.62 for random forest, and 0.83 for the SVM model, respectively. CONCLUSION CT radiomic features can be considered as a useful and promising noninvasive methodology for preoperative evaluation of ccRCC Fuhrman grades.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To obtain attenuation-corrected PET images directly from non-attenuation-corrected images using a convolutional encoder-decoder network. METHODS Brain PET images from 129 patients were evaluated. The network was designed to map non-attenuation-corrected (NAC) images to pixel-wise continuously valued measured attenuation-corrected (MAC) PET images via an encoder-decoder architecture. Image quality was evaluated using various evaluation metrics. Image quantification was assessed for 19 radiomic features in 83 brain regions as delineated using the Hammersmith atlas (n30r83). Reliability of measurements was determined using pixel-wise relative errors (RE; %) for radiomic feature values in reference MAC PET images. RESULTS Peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index metric (SSIM) values were 39.2 ± 3.65 and 0.989 ± 0.006 for the external validation set, respectively. RE (%) of SUVmean was - 0.10 ± 2.14 for all regions, and only 3 of 83 regions depicted significant differences. However, the mean RE (%) of this region was 0.02 (range, - 0.83 to 1.18). SUVmax had mean RE (%) of - 3.87 ± 2.84 for all brain regions, and 17 regions in the brain depicted significant differences with respect to MAC images with a mean RE of - 3.99 ± 2.11 (range, - 8.46 to 0.76). Homogeneity amongst Haralick-based radiomic features had the highest number (20) of regions with significant differences with a mean RE (%) of 7.22 ± 2.99. CONCLUSIONS Direct AC of PET images using deep convolutional encoder-decoder networks is a promising technique for brain PET images. The proposed deep learning method shows significant potential for emission-based AC in PET images with applications in PET/MRI and dedicated brain PET scanners. KEY POINTS • We demonstrate direct emission-based attenuation correction of PET images without using anatomical information. • We performed radiomics analysis of 83 brain regions to show robustness of direct attenuation correction of PET images. • Deep learning methods have significant promise for emission-based attenuation correction in PET images with potential applications in PET/MRI and dedicated brain PET scanners.

Abstract
The AGM paradigm of belief change studies the dynamics of belief states in light of new information. Finding, or even approximating, those beliefs that are dependent on or relevant to a change is valuable because, for example, it can narrow the set of beliefs considered during belief change operations. A strong intuition in this area is captured by Gärdenforss preservation criterion (GPC), which suggests that formulas independent of a belief change should remain intact. GPC thus allows one to build dependence relations that are linked with belief change. Such dependence relations can in turn be used as a theoretical benchmark against which to evaluate other approximate dependence or relevance relations. Fariñas and Herzig axiomatize a dependence relation with respect to a belief set, and, based on GPC, they characterize the correspondence between AGM contraction functions and dependence relations. In this paper, we introduce base dependence as a relation between formulas with respect to a belief base, and prove a more general characterization that shows the correspondence between kernel contraction and base dependence. At this level of generalization, different types of base dependence emerge, which we show to be a result of possible redundancy in the belief base. We further show that one of these relations that emerge, strong base dependence, is parallel to saturated kernel contraction. We then prove that our latter characterization is a reversible generalization of Fariñas and Herzigs characterization. That is, in the special case when the underlying belief base is deductively closed (i.e., it is a belief set), strong base dependence reduces to dependence, and so do their respective characterizations. Finally, an intriguing feature of Fariñas and Herzigs formalism is that it meets other criteria for dependence, namely, Keyness conjunction criterion for dependence (CCD) and Gärdenforss conjunction criterion for independence (CCI). We prove that our base dependence formalism also meets these criteria. Even more interestingly, we offer a more specific criterion that implies both CCD and CCI, and show our base dependence formalism also meets this new criterion.

Abstract
Neutrophils exit the vasculature and swarm to sites of inflammation and infection. However, these cells are abundant in the healthy, inflammation-free human oral environment, suggesting a unique immune surveillance role within the periodontium. We hypothesize that neutrophils in the healthy oral cavity occur in an intermediary parainflammatory state that allows them to interact with and contain the oral microflora without eliciting a marked inflammatory response. Based on a high-throughput screen of neutrophil CD (cluster of differentiation) marker expression and a thorough literature review, we developed multicolor flow cytometry panels to determine the surface marker signatures of oral neutrophil subsets in periodontal health and disease. We define here 3 distinct neutrophil subsets: resting/naive circulatory neutrophils, parainflammatory neutrophils found in the healthy oral cavity, and proinflammatory neutrophils found in the oral cavity during chronic periodontal disease. Furthermore, parainflammatory neutrophils manifest as 2 distinct subpopulations-based on size, granularity, and expression of specific CD markers-and exhibit intermediate levels of activation as compared with the proinflammatory oral neutrophils. These intermediately activated parainflammatory populations occur in equal proportions in the healthy oral cavity, with a shift to one highly activated proinflammatory neutrophil population in chronic periodontal disease. This work is the first to identify and characterize oral parainflammatory neutrophils that interact with commensal biofilms without inducing an inflammatory response, thereby demonstrating that not all neutrophils trafficking through periodontal tissues are fully activated. In addition to establishing possible diagnostic and treatment monitoring biomarkers, this oral neutrophil phenotype model builds on existing literature suggesting that the healthy periodontium may be in a parainflammatory state.

Abstract
Achillea wilhelmsii C. Koch (Asteraceae) is a wild herb widely disturbed in Iran and known locally as yarrow. This plant is an important medicinal plant and it has been used for its analgesic, antiphlogistic, antispasmodic, and antibacterial effects in Iranian folk medicine. Field surveys revealed infestations of yarrow broomrape, Orobanche purpurea Jacq., on A. wilhelmsii plants in two locations in province of Zanjan (Zanjan, 36°37'19.85″ N, 48°27'16.87″ E, 1,707.4 m elevation, and Qolabar, 36°19'19.85″ N, 48°19'16.41″ E, 1,663.9 m elevation) in northwestern Iran in May 2012. The annual mean air temperature and the average maximum and minimum air temperatures were 11, 18, and 4°C, respectively. The annual mean precipitation was 298 mm. The infestation of A. wilhelmsii was confirmed by verifying the attachment of the yarrow broomrape to the A. wilhelmsii roots. Broomrape plant heights were between 24 and 37 cm. The stems were erect, unbranched, slender, and swollen near the base at contact with host, 0.5 to 10 mm diameter. The leaves were reduced to scale or bracts up to 10 to 15 mm long. The flowers were in dense terminal spikes, usually restricted to the top third or half of the shoot. There was one bract and two bracteoles surrounding each flower. The bracts measured 7 to 10 mm, had ovate lanceolates shorter than the calyces, and lanceolate bracteoles were 5 to 10 mm. The calyces were gamosepalous, entire, and whitish. Corollas were 13 to 18 mm long, and were dull bluish-purple with dark veins, suffused with whitish-yellow at the base. The upper part was slightly curved forwards. Stamens were epipetalous, inserted 4 to 7 mm above the corolla base, with filaments glabrous. The anthers were glabrous along sutures. Stigma lobes were white. Fruit was an oval capsule, 0.9 to 10 mm. Botanists at the College of Agriculture of Zanjan University confirmed the identity of O. purpurea. A. millefolium has been reported as a host plant for yarrow broomrape (1,2). However, to our knowledge, this is the first report of yarrow broomrape on A. wilhelmsii in Iran. Since production and farming of A. wilhelmsii as a medicinal plant has recently started on a commercial scale in Iran, the parasite weed could pose a serious threat to production of this plant.

Abstract
Pre-planting irrigation and planting patterns are important factors in weed management that effect on seed bank. Additionally, the nitrogen is the most important factor in plant growth that affects weed-crop competition and ultimately, seed rain into the soil. A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of nitrogen application rates, pre-planting irrigation and maize planting patterns on weed seed bank population. Experimental factors were nitrogen rates at 4 levels (200, 300, 400 and 500 kg per hectare) as main plot; and pre-planting irrigation at 2 levels (irrigation before planting plus weeding emerged seedlings and, irrigation after sowing), and maize planting patterns (one-row and two-row planting of maize with same density per square of row length) that were assigned in a factorial arrangement to the sub plots. Soil samples were taken at the beginning of the season (before planting of maize) and at the end of the season (after harvest) at depth of 0-5 cm in the fixed quadrates (60 cm x 60 cm). The weed seeds were extracted from the soil samples and were identified using standard methods. The majority of weed seed bank populations included 6 weed species: Portulaca oleracea, Chenopodium album, Amaranthus retroflexus, Sorghum halepense, Daturea stramonium, Xanthium strumarium. Results showed that population of weed seed bank increased significantly with increasing nitrogen rate. The increasing rate was different between one-row and two-row planting patterns. The parameters indicated that seed bank population was much higher in a one row planting pattern of maize. With two-row planting, seed bank was decreased by 34, 26, 20 and 5% at 200, 300, 400 and 500 kg N/ha, respectively. Pre-planting irrigation was also found an effective implement to reduce the weed seed bank. When pre-planting irrigation was applied, seed bank was decreased by 57, 43, 34 and 9% at 200, 300, 400 and 500 kg N/ha. Increasing nitrogen because of weed's better growth and higher seed production neutralized the decreasing effect of pre-planting irrigation and two-row planting of maize on weed seed bank population.

Abstract
Amniocentesis was carried out at 17 weeks gestation in a 27-year-old woman, following an abnormal maternal serum screening (MSS) test. MSS test was carried out primarily to estimate the risk of trisomy for chromosome 21. The maternal serum markers used were alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), and unconjugated estriol (uE3), together with maternal age. The fetus was identified as screen-positive for Edward’s syndrome (trisomy 18), with low uE3, normal AFP and hCG levels. The calculated risk for trisomy 18 was more than 1:50. To identify any possible chromosomal abnormality, cytogenetic investigation was carried out on the amniotic fluid sample. The fetus’s karyotype showed triploidy with 69, XXX chromosome complement in all the metaphase spreads obtained from three different cultures, using GTG banding technique. Upon termination of the fetus, gross abnormalities indicative of triploidy were present in the fetus.

Abstract
Large amounts of gene expression data from several different technologies are becoming available to the scientific community. A common practice is to use these data to calculate global gene coexpression for validation or integration of other "omic" data. To assess the utility of publicly available datasets for this purpose we have analyzed Homo sapiens data from 1202 cDNA microarray experiments, 242 SAGE libraries, and 667 Affymetrix oligonucleotide microarray experiments. The three datasets compared demonstrate significant but low levels of global concordance (rc<0.11). Assessment against Gene Ontology (GO) revealed that all three platforms identify more coexpressed gene pairs with common biological processes than expected by chance. As the Pearson correlation for a gene pair increased it was more likely to be confirmed by GO. The Affymetrix dataset performed best individually with gene pairs of correlation 0.9-1.0 confirmed by GO in 74% of cases. However, in all cases, gene pairs confirmed by multiple platforms were more likely to be confirmed by GO. We show that combining results from different expression platforms increases reliability of coexpression. A comparison with other recently published coexpression studies found similar results in terms of performance against GO but with each method producing distinctly different gene pair lists.
