Association of quantitative radiomic shape features with functional outcome after surgery for primary sporadic dorsal spinal meningiomas.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Spinal meningiomas (SM) account for 25%-46% of all primary spinal tumors and show an excellent long-term disease control in case of complete resection. Therefore, the postoperative functional outcome is of high importance. To date, reports on dorsally located SM are scarce. Moreover, the impact of radiomics shape features on the functional outcome after surgery for primary dorsal SMs has not been analyzed yet.

Methods

We retrospectively performed an analysis of shape-based radiomic features in 3D slicer software and quantified the tumor volume, surface area, sphericity, surface area to volume ratio and tumor canal ratio. Subsequently, we evaluated the correlation between the radinomic parameters and the postoperative outcome according to Modified Japanese Orthopedi
