Performance of baseline FDG-PET/CT radiomics for prediction of bone marrow minimal residual disease status in the LyMa-101 trial.

ABSTRACT: The prognostic value of ¹⁸F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) at baseline or the predictive value of minimal residual disease (MRD) detection appear as potential tools to improve mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients' management. The LyMa-101, a phase 2 trial of the LYSA group (ClinicalTrials.gov:NCT02896582) reported induction therapy with obinutuzumab, a CD20 monoclonal antibody. Herein, we investigated the added prognostic value of radiomic features (RF) derived from FDG-PET/CT at diagnosis for MRD value prediction. FDG-PET/CT of 59 MCL patients included in the LyMa-101 trial have been independently, blindly and centrally reviewed. RF were extracted from the disease area with the highest uptake and from the total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV). Two models of machine learning were used to compare several combinations for prediction of MRD before autologous stem cell transplant consolidation (ASCT). Each algorithm was generated with or without constrained feature selections for clinical and laboratory parameters. Both algorithms showed better discrimination performances for negative vs positive MRD in the lesion with the highest uptake than in the TMTV. The constrained use of clinical and biological features showed a clear loss in sensitivity for the prediction of MRD status before ASCT, regardless of the machine learning model. These data plead for the importance of FDG-PET/CT RF compared to clinical and laboratory parameters and also reinforced the previously made hypothesis that the prognosis of the disease in MCL patients is linked to the most aggressive contingent, within the lesion with the highest uptake.

Project description:The combination of visual assessment of whole body [18F]FDG PET images and evaluation of bone marrow samples by Multiparameter Flow Cytometry (MFC) or Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is currently the most common clinical practice for the detection of Measurable Residual Disease (MRD) in Multiple Myeloma (MM) patients. In this study, radiomic features extracted from the bone marrow biopsy locations are analyzed and compared to those extracted from the whole bone marrow in order to study the representativeness of these biopsy locations in the image-based MRD assessment. Whole body [18F]FDG PET of 39 patients with newly diagnosed MM were included in the database, and visually evaluated by experts in nuclear medicine. A methodology for the segmentation of biopsy sites from PET images, including sternum and posterior iliac crest, and their subsequent quantification is proposed. First, starting from the bone marrow segmentation, a segmentation of the biopsy sites is performed. Then, segmentations are quantified extracting SUV metrics and radiomic features from the [18F]FDG PET images and are evaluated by Mann-Whitney U-tests as valuable features differentiating PET+/PET- and MFC+ /MFC- groups. Moreover, correlation between whole bone marrow and biopsy sites is studied by Spearman ρ rank. Classification performance of the radiomics features is evaluated applying seven machine learning algorithms. Statistical analyses reveal that some images features are significant in PET+/PET- differentiation, such as SUVmax, Gray Level Non-Uniformity or Entropy, especially with a balanced database where 16 of the features show a p value < 0.001. Correlation analyses between whole bone marrow and biopsy sites results in significant and acceptable coefficients, with 11 of the variables reaching a correlation coefficient greater than 0.7, with a maximum of 0.853. Machine learning algorithms demonstrate high performances in PET+/PET- classification reaching a maximum AUC of 0.974, but not for MFC+/MFC- classification. The results demonstrate the representativeness of sample sites as well as the effectiveness of extracted features (SUV metrics and radiomic features) from the [18F]FDG PET images in MRD assessment in MM patients.

Project description:BackgroundDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in adults. Standard treatment includes chemoimmunotherapy with R-CHOP or similar regimens. Despite treatment advancements, many patients with DLBCL experience refractory disease or relapse. While baseline 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) parameters have shown promise in predicting survival, they may not fully capture lesion heterogeneity. This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of baseline 18F-FDG PET radiomics features in comparison with clinical factors and metabolic parameters for assessing 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) and 5-year overall survival (OS) in patients with DLBCL.ResultsA total of 201 patients with DLBCL were enrolled in this study, and 1328 radiomics features were extracted. The radiomics signatures, clinical factors, and metabolic parameters showed significant prognostic value for individualized prognosis prediction in patients with DLBCL. Radiomics signatures showed the lowest Akaike information criterion (AIC) value and highest Harrell's concordance index (C-index) value in comparison with clinical factors and metabolic parameters for both PFS (AIC: 571.688 vs. 596.040 vs. 576.481; C-index: 0.732 vs. 0.658 vs. 0.702, respectively) and OS (AIC: 339.843 vs. 363.671 vs. 358.412; C-index: 0.759 vs. 0.667 vs. 0.659, respectively). Statistically significant differences were observed in the area under the curve (AUC) values between the radiomics signatures and clinical factors for both PFS (AUC: 0.768 vs. 0.681, P = 0.017) and OS (AUC: 0.767 vs. 0.667, P = 0.023). For OS, the AUC of the radiomics signatures were significantly higher than those of metabolic parameters (AUC: 0.767 vs. 0.688, P = 0.007). However, for PFS, no significant difference was observed between the radiomics signatures and metabolic parameters (AUC: 0.768 vs. 0.756, P = 0.654). The combined model and the best-performing individual model (radiomics signatures) alone showed no significant difference for both PFS (AUC: 0.784 vs. 0.768, P = 0.163) or OS (AUC: 0.772 vs. 0.767, P = 0.403).ConclusionsRadiomics signatures derived from PET images showed the high predictive power for progression in patients with DLBCL. The combination of radiomics signatures, clinical factors, and metabolic parameters may not significantly improve predictive value beyond that of radiomics signatures alone.

Project description:PurposeFor pediatric lymphoma, quantitative FDG PET/CT imaging features such as metabolic tumor volume (MTV) are important for prognosis and risk stratification strategies. However, feature extraction is difficult and time-consuming in cases of high disease burden. The purpose of this study was to fully automate the measurement of PET imaging features in PET/CT images of pediatric lymphoma.Methods18F-FDG PET/CT baseline images of 100 pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma patients were retrospectively analyzed. Two nuclear medicine physicians identified and segmented FDG avid disease using PET thresholding methods. Both PET and CT images were used as inputs to a three-dimensional patch-based, multi-resolution pathway convolutional neural network architecture, DeepMedic. The model was trained to replicate physician segmentations using an ensemble of three networks trained with 5-fold cross-validation. The maximum SUV (SUVmax), MTV, total lesion glycolysis (TLG), surface-area-to-volume ratio (SA/MTV), and a measure of disease spread (Dmaxpatient) were extracted from the model output. Pearson's correlation coefficient and relative percent differences were calculated between automated and physician-extracted features.ResultsMedian Dice similarity coefficient of patient contours between automated and physician contours was 0.86 (IQR 0.78-0.91). Automated SUVmax values matched exactly the physician determined values in 81/100 cases, with Pearson's correlation coefficient (R) of 0.95. Automated MTV was strongly correlated with physician MTV (R = 0.88), though it was slightly underestimated with a median (IQR) relative difference of - 4.3% (- 10.0-5.7%). Agreement of TLG was excellent (R = 0.94), with median (IQR) relative difference of - 0.4% (- 5.2-7.0%). Median relative percent differences were 6.8% (R = 0.91; IQR 1.6-4.3%) for SA/MTV, and 4.5% (R = 0.51; IQR - 7.5-40.9%) for Dmaxpatient, which was the most difficult feature to quantify automatically.ConclusionsAn automated method using an ensemble of multi-resolution pathway 3D CNNs was able to quantify PET imaging features of lymphoma on baseline FDG PET/CT images with excellent agreement to reference physician PET segmentation. Automated methods with faster throughput for PET quantitation, such as MTV and TLG, show promise in more accessible clinical and research applications.
