Radiomic prediction of mutation status based on MR imaging of lung cancer brain metastases.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer metastases comprise most of all brain metastases in adults and most brain metastases are diagnosed by magnetic resonance (MR) scans. The purpose of this study was to conduct an MR imaging-based radiomic analysis of brain metastatic lesions from patients with primary lung cancer to classify mutational status of the metastatic disease. We retrospectively identified lung cancer patients with brain metastases treated at our institution between 2009 and 2017 who underwent genotype testing of their primary lung cancer. Brain MR Images were used for segmentation of enhancing tumors and peritumoral edema, and for radiomic feature extraction. The most relevant radiomic features were identified and used with clinical data to train random forest classifiers to classify the mutation status
