Published: December 2020

Background: Glypican 3 (GPC3) expression has proved to be a critical risk factor related to prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.

Purpose: To investigate the performance of MRI-based radiomics signature in identifying GPC3-positive HCC.

Study Type: Retrospective.

Population: An initial cohort of 293 patients with pathologically confirmed HCC was involved in this study, and patients were randomly divided into training (195) and validation (98) cohorts.

Field Strength/sequences: Contrast-enhanced T -weight MRI was performed with a 1.5T scanner.

Assessment: A total of 853 radiomic features were extracted from the volume imaging. Univariate analysis and Fisher scoring were utilized for feature reduction. Subsequently, forward stepwise feature selection and radiomics signature building were performed based on a support vector machine (SVM). Incorporating independent risk factors, a combined nomogram was developed by multivariable logistic regression modeling.

Statistical Tests: The predictive performance of the nomogram was calculated using the area under the receive operating characteristic curve (AUC). Decision curve analysis (DCA) was applied to estimate the clinical usefulness.

Results: The radiomics signature consisting of 10 selected features achieved good prediction efficacy (training cohort: AUC = 0.879, validation cohort: AUC = 0.871). Additionally, the combined nomogram integrating independent clinical risk factor α-fetoprotein (AFP) and radiomics signature showed improved calibration and prominent predictive performance with AUCs of 0.926 and 0.914 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively.

Data Conclusion: The proposed MR-based radiomics signature is strongly related to GPC3-positive. The combined nomogram incorporating AFP and radiomics signature may provide an effective tool for noninvasive and individualized prediction of GPC3-positive in patients with HCC. J. MAGN. RESON.

Purpose: HER2 expression is crucial for the application of HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugates. This study aims to construct a predictive model by integrating multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) based multimodal radiomics and the Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) score for noninvasive identification of HER2 status in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC).

Methods: A total of 197 patients were retrospectively enrolled and randomly divided into a training cohort (n = 145) and a testing cohort (n = 52).

Novel MRI-based Hyper-Fused Radiomics for Predicting Pathologic Complete Response to Neoadjuvant Therapy in Breast Cancer.

Acad Radiol

January 2025

Imaging Center, Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital, Haping Road No.150, Nangang District, Harbin 150081, China (Q-X.C., L-Q.Z., X-Y.W., H-X.Z., J-J.L., M-C.X., H-Y.S., Z-X.K.). Electronic address:

Rationale And Objectives: To propose a novel MRI-based hyper-fused radiomic approach to predict pathologic complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) in breast cancer (BC).

Materials And Methods: Pretreatment dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI and ultra-multi-b-value (UMB) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) data were acquired in BC patients who received NAT followed by surgery at two centers. Hyper-fused radiomic features (RFs) and conventional RFs were extracted from DCE-MRI or UMB-DWI.

Habitat-based MRI radiomics to predict the origin of brain metastasis.

Med Phys

January 2025

Department of Scientific Research and Academic, Cancer Hospital of China Medical University, Liaoning Cancer Hospital and Institute, Shenyang, Liaoning, P. R. China.

Background: This study aims to explore the value of habitat-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics for predicting the origin of brain metastasis (BM).

Purpose: To investigate whether habitat-based radiomics can identify the metastatic tumor type of BM and whether an imaging-based model that integrates the volume of peritumoral edema (VPE) can enhance predictive performance.

Methods: A primary cohort was developed with 384 patients from two centers, which comprises 734 BM lesions.

Preoperative Computed Tomography Radiomics-Based Models for Predicting Microvascular Invasion of Intrahepatic Mass-Forming Cholangiocarcinoma.

J Comput Assist Tomogr

November 2024

From the Department of Radiology, Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China.

Objectives: The aim of the study is to investigate the ability of preoperative CT (Computed Tomography)-based radiomics signature to predict microvascular invasion (MVI) of intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma (IMCC) and develop radiomics-based prediction models.

Materials And Methods: Preoperative clinical data, basic CT features, and radiomics features of 121 IMCC patients (44 with MVI and 77 without MVI) were retrospectively reviewed. The loading and display of CT images, delineation of the volume of interest, and feature extraction were performed using 3D Slicer.
