Radiomics-Based Precision Phenotyping Identifies Unstable Coronary Plaques From Computed Tomography Angiography.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study was to precisely phenotype culprit and nonculprit lesions in myocardial infarction (MI) and lesions in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) using coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA)-based radiomic analysis.

Background

It remains debated whether any single coronary atherosclerotic plaque within the vulnerable patient exhibits unique morphology conferring an increased risk of clinical events.

Methods

A total of 60 patients with acute MI prospectively underwent coronary CTA before invasive angiography and were matched to 60 patients with stable CAD. For all coronary lesions, high-risk plaque (HRP) characteristics were qualitatively assessed, followed by semiautomated plaque quantification and extraction of 1,103 radiomic features. Machine learning models were built to examine the additive value of radiomic features for discriminating culprit lesions over and above HRP and plaque volumes.

Results

Culprit lesions had higher mean volumes of noncalcified plaque (NCP) and low-density noncalcified plaque (LDNCP) compared with the highest-grade stenosis nonculprits and highest-grade stenosis stable CAD lesions (NCP: 138.1 mm³ vs 110.7 mm³ vs 102.7 mm³; LDNCP: 14.2 mm³ vs 9.8 mm³ vs 8.4 mm³; both P_trend < 0.01). In multivariable linear regression adjusted for NCP and LDNCP volumes, 14.9% (164 of 1,103) of radiomic features were associated with culprits and 9.7% (107 of 1,103) were associated with the highest-grade stenosis nonculprits (critical P < 0.0007) when compared with highest-grade stenosis stable CAD lesions as reference. Hierarchical clustering of significant radiomic features identified 9 unique data clusters (latent phenotypes): 5 contained radiomic features specific to culprits, 1 contained features specific to highest-grade stenosis nonculprits, and 3 contained features associated with either lesion type. Radiomic features provided incremental value for discriminating culprit lesions when added to a machine learning model containing HRP and plaque volumes (area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve 0.86 vs 0.76; P = 0.004).

Conclusions

Culprit lesions and highest-grade stenosis nonculprit lesions in MI have distinct radiomic signatures compared with lesions in stable CAD. Within the vulnerable patient may exist individual vulnerable plaques identifiable by coronary CTA-based precision phenotyping.

Project description:Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) features on Computed Tomography (CT) have been shown to reflect local inflammation and increased cardiovascular risk. Our goal was to determine whether PCAT radiomics extracted from coronary CT angiography (CCTA) images are associated with intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT)-identified vulnerable-plaque characteristics (e.g., microchannels (MC) and thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA)). The CCTA and IVOCT images of 30 lesions from 25 patients were registered. The vessels with vulnerable plaques were identified from the registered IVOCT images. The PCAT-radiomics features were extracted from the CCTA images for the lesion region of interest (PCAT-LOI) and the entire vessel (PCAT-Vessel). We extracted 1356 radiomic features, including intensity (first-order), shape, and texture features. The features were reduced using standard approaches (e.g., high feature correlation). Using stratified three-fold cross-validation with 1000 repeats, we determined the ability of PCAT-radiomics features from CCTA to predict IVOCT vulnerable-plaque characteristics. In the identification of TCFA lesions, the PCAT-LOI and PCAT-Vessel radiomics models performed comparably (Area Under the Curve (AUC) ± standard deviation 0.78 ± 0.13, 0.77 ± 0.14). For the identification of MC lesions, the PCAT-Vessel radiomics model (0.89 ± 0.09) was moderately better associated than the PCAT-LOI model (0.83 ± 0.12). In addition, both the PCAT-LOI and the PCAT-Vessel radiomics model identified coronary vessels thought to be highly vulnerable to a similar standard (i.e., both TCFA and MC; 0.88 ± 0.10, 0.91 ± 0.09). The most favorable radiomic features tended to be those describing the texture and size of the PCAT. The application of PCAT radiomics can identify coronary vessels with TCFA or MC, consistent with IVOCT. Furthermore, the use of CCTA radiomics may improve risk stratification by noninvasively detecting vulnerable-plaque characteristics that are only visible with IVOCT.

Project description:BackgroundBoth acute myocarditis patients and normal cohort usually present with normal coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) performance, and the performance of CCTA radiomics on the prediction for myocarditis is still unclear. This study aims to build a clinical prediction model for acute myocarditis using CCTA-based radiomics.MethodsA total of 215 consecutive patients from the Affiliated Jinhua Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine (Center 1) and Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine (Center 2) who underwent CCTA and were diagnosed as normal or acute myocarditis were enrolled. All CCTA images of myocardium were automatically segmented to extract radiomics features. Pearson correlation analysis was used to identify features that were highly correlated with others. The application of the 5-fold cross-validation test reduced reliance on a single training set and provided more robust performance estimation. The best radiomics prediction model was chosen and combined with the clinical labels to construct a clinical-radiomics model for the classification of patients as with or without myocarditis.ResultsPearson's correlation and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analyses identified 10 radiomics features and 7 clinical features which demonstrated the best correlation. The receiver operating characteristic curves of the three models that used the support vector machine (SVM) demonstrated the best performance. The area under the curves (AUCs) of Model 1 (Rad-score model) using training and test datasets were 0.970 (0.949-0.991) and 0.912 (0.832-0.992), respectively. The AUCs of Model 2 (clinical factors model) for the training and test datasets were 0.992 (0.983-1.000) and 0.943 (0.875-1.000), respectively. Model 3 (clinical factors and Rad-score model) demonstrated the best results, with AUCs of 1.000 (0.999-1.000) and 0.951 (0.880-1.000) in the training and test datasets, respectively.ConclusionsThe CCTA-based radiomics model constructed using machine learning demonstrated good performance for predicting myocarditis.

Project description:ObjectivesTo compare the detection of relevant extracardiac findings (ECFs) on coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and evaluate the potential clinical benefit of their detection.MethodsThis is the prespecified subanalysis of ECFs in patients presenting with a clinical indication for ICA based on atypical angina and suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) included in the prospective single-center randomized controlled Coronary Artery Disease Management (CAD-Man) study. ECFs requiring immediate therapy and/or further workup including additional imaging were defined as clinically relevant. We evaluated the scope of ECFs in 329 patients and analyzed the potential clinical benefit of their detection.ResultsECFs were detected in 107 of 329 patients (32.5%; CTA: 101/167, 60.5%; ICA: 6/162, 3.7%; p < .001). Fifty-nine patients had clinically relevant ECFs (17.9%; CTA: 55/167, 32.9%; ICA: 4/162, 2.5%; p < .001). In the CTA group, ECFs potentially explained atypical chest pain in 13 of 101 patients with ECFs (12.9%). After initiation of therapy, chest pain improved in 4 (4.0%) and resolved in 7 patients (6.9%). Follow-up imaging was recommended in 33 (10.0%; CTA: 30/167, 18.0%; ICA: 3/162, 1.9%) and additional clinic consultation in 26 patients (7.9%; CTA: 25/167, 15.0%; ICA: 1/162, 0.6%). Malignancy was newly diagnosed in one patient (0.3%; CTA: 1/167, 0.6%; ICA: 0).ConclusionsIn this randomized study, CTA but not ICA detected clinically relevant ECFs that may point to possible other causes of chest pain in patients without CAD. Thus, CTA might preclude the need for ICA in those patients.Trial registrationNCT Unique ID: 00844220 KEY POINTS: • CTA detects ten times more clinically relevant ECFs than ICA. • Actionable clinically relevant ECFs affect patient management and therapy and may thus improve chest pain. • Detection of ECFs explaining chest pain on CTA might preclude the need for performing ICA.

Project description:ObjectivesTo evaluate whether radiomics signature of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) based on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) could improve the prediction of future acute coronary syndrome (ACS) within 3 years.MethodsWe designed a retrospective case-control study that patients with ACS (n = 90) were well matched to patients with no cardiac events (n = 1496) during 3 years follow-up, then which were randomly divided into training and test datasets with a ratio of 3:1. A total of 107 radiomics features were extracted from PCAT surrounding lesions and 14 conventional plaque characteristics were analyzed. Radiomics score, plaque score, and integrated score were respectively calculated via a linear combination of the selected features, and their performance was evaluated with discrimination, calibration, and clinical application.ResultsRadiomics score achieved superior performance in identifying patients with future ACS within 3 years in both training and test datasets (AUC = 0.826, 0.811) compared with plaque score (AUC = 0.699, 0.640), with a significant difference of AUC between two scores in the training dataset (p = 0.009); while the improvement of integrated score discriminating capability (AUC = 0.838, 0.826) was non-significant. The calibration curves of three predictive models demonstrated a good fitness respectively (all p > 0.05). Decision curve analysis suggested that integrated score added more clinical benefit than plaque score. Stratified analysis revealed that the performance of three predictive models was not affected by tube voltage, CT version, different sites of hospital.ConclusionCCTA-based radiomics signature of PCAT could have the potential to predict the occurrence of subsequent ACS. Radiomics-based integrated score significantly outperformed plaque score in identifying future ACS within 3 years.Key points• Plaque score based on conventional plaque characteristics had certain limitations in the prediction of ACS. • Radiomics signature of PCAT surrounding plaques could have the potential to improve the predictive ability of subsequent ACS. • Radiomics-based integrated score significantly outperformed plaque score in the identification of future ACS within 3 years.
