Objective: To develop a multi-modality radiomics nomogram based on DCE-MRI, B-mode ultrasound (BMUS) and strain elastography (SE) images for classifying benign and malignant breast lesions.
Material And Methods: In this retrospective study, 345 breast lesions from 305 patients who underwent DCE-MRI, BMUS and SE examinations were randomly divided into training (n = 241) and testing (n = 104) datasets. Radiomics features were extracted from manually contoured images. The inter-class correlation coefficient (ICC), Mann-Whitney U test and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression were applied for feature selection and radiomics signature building. Multivariable logistic regression was used to develop a radiomics nomogram incorporating radiomics signature and clinical factors. The performance of the radiomics nomogram was evaluated by its discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness and was compared with BI-RADS classification evaluated by a senior breast radiologist.
Results: The All-Combination radiomics signature derived from the combination of DCE-MRI, BMUS and SE images showed better diagnostic performance than signatures derived from single modality alone, with area under the curves (AUCs) of 0.953 and 0.941 in training and testing datasets, respectively. The multi-modality radiomics nomogram incorporating the All-Combination radiomics signature and age showed excellent discrimination with the highest AUCs of 0.964 and 0.951 in two datasets, respectively, which outperformed all single modality radiomics signatures and BI-RADS classification. Furthermore, the specificity of radiomics nomogram was significantly higher than BI-RADS classification (both < 0.04) with the same sensitivity in both datasets.
Conclusion: The proposed multi-modality radiomics nomogram based on DCE-MRI and ultrasound images has the potential to serve as a non-invasive tool for classifying benign and malignant breast lesions and reduce unnecessary biopsy.

Objective: To develop an automatic segmentation model to delineate the adnexal masses and construct a machine learning model to differentiate between low malignant risk and intermediate-high malignant risk of adnexal masses based on ovarian-adnexal reporting and data system (O-RADS).
Methods: A total of 663 ultrasound images of adnexal mass were collected and divided into two sets according to experienced radiologists: a low malignant risk set (n = 446) and an intermediate-high malignant risk set (n = 217). Deep learning segmentation models were trained and selected to automatically segment adnexal masses.

Background: Accurately assessing the activity of Crohn's disease (CD) is crucial for determining prognosis and guiding treatment strategies for CD patients.
Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram for assessing CD activity.
Methods: The semi-automatic segmentation method and PyRadiomics software were employed to segment and extract radiomics features from the spectral CT enterography images of lesions in 107 CD patients.

Background: Accurate estimation of recurrence risk for cervical cancer plays a pivot role in making individualized treatment plans. We aimed to develop and externally validate an end-to-end deep learning model for predicting recurrence risk in cervical cancer patients following surgery by using multiparametric MRI images.
Methods: The clinicopathologic data and multiparametric MRI images of 406 cervical cancer patients from three institutions were collected.

Background: To develop and validate a clinical-radiomics model for preoperative prediction of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in rectal cancer.
Methods: This retrospective study included data from 239 patients with pathologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma from two centers, all of whom underwent MRI examinations. Cases from the first center (n = 189) were randomly divided into a training set and an internal validation set at a 7:3 ratio, while cases from the second center (n = 50) constituted the external validation set.
