Aim: To verify if computed tomography (CT) radiomics were reproducible by cone beam CT (CBCT) radiomics by using Catphan® 504.

Materials And Methods: Catphan® 504 was imaged   using the default IGRT OBI  CBCT   imaging protocols and CT scanner. Seven known density image regions of the phantom were segmented and image feature was extracted by Imaging Biomarker Explorer (IBEX) software. The 49 selected features from four feature categories were analyzed by considering each region of interest (ROI) segment as individual image set. Correlation  was studies using interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Pearson's correlation coefficient.

Results: The ICC of the three feature categories, namely intensity, GLCM, and GLRLM was significant (p-value<0.05) in comparison with CT, while the ICC of the fourth feature category, NID, was no significant. The average absolute Pearson's correlation coefficient from the features of the images was as follows: CT: r=0.679±0.257, CBCThead: r=0.707±0.231, CBCTthorax: r=0.643±0.260, and CBCTpelvis: r=0.594±0.276.

Conclusion:   It seems that the various densities of Catphan® 504 ROI image segments of the CT radiomics are reproducible with CBCT radiomics and CBCT radiomics can be used as an independent modality.

Age estimation by radiomics analysis of mandibular condylar cone beam computed tomography images.

Leg Med (Tokyo)

December 2024

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Kocaeli University, Kocaeli, Turkey.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to estimate the legal age using the parameters obtained from radiomic analysis of the mandibular condyle in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.

Material And Methods: The study group consisted of 300 mandibular condyles, which were categorized into six groups based on the age of the patients: 8-11 years, 12-14 years, 15-17 years, 18-20 years, 21-23 years, and over 24 years. Each patient's condyle was segmented individually using the 3D Slicer program.

Objective: To investigate significant differences in selected radiomic parameters when classifying periapical lesions based on volumetric size, cortical expansion, erosion, and shape using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).

Methods: A retrospective analytical and comparative study was conducted on 100 small field of view (FOV) 50×50 mm CBCT scans collected between the years 2018 and 2023. The study involved qualitative classification of periapical lesions, followed by segmentation and extraction of radiomic parameters.

Application of Radiomics Features in Differential Diagnosis of Odontogenic Cysts.

Dentomaxillofac Radiol

November 2024

Selcuk University Faculty of Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Department, Konya, 42130, Turkiye.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to differentiate between radicular cysts (RCs), dentigerous cysts (DCs), and odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) using radiomic features as a non-invasive diagnosis method before surgery.
  • A total of 161 cysts were analyzed through semi-automatic segmentation of CBCT images, focusing on various shape-based and textural features to assess their differences.
  • Results indicated significant statistical differences in radiomic features among the cyst types, suggesting these features could help with differential diagnosis without needing a biopsy.

Purpose: To create and evaluate prediction models of local tumor recurrence after successful conventional transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (c-TACE) via radiomics analysis of lipiodol deposition using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images obtained at the completion of TACE.

Materials And Methods: A total of 103 hepatocellular carcinoma nodules in 71 patients, who achieved a complete response (CR) based on the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1 month after TACE, were categorized into two groups: prolonged CR and recurrence groups. Three types of areas were segmented on CBCT: whole segment (WS), tumor segment (TS), and peritumor segment (PS).

Article Synopsis
  • - This study reviews existing research on the use of radiomics in predicting outcomes for head and neck cancers using cone beam and megavoltage computed tomography images, aiming to gather insights on the quality of these studies based on a radiomics quality score (RQS).
  • - A systematic search found 743 studies, but only six original studies met the inclusion criteria, showing a high reliability in RQS assessments between reviewers.
  • - The findings indicate a scarcity of radiomics studies using CBCT and MVCT, and it suggests that researchers should consistently report their RQS to enhance the credibility of radiomics research.
