One 3D VOI-based deep learning radiomics strategy, clinical model and radiologists for predicting lymph node metastases in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma based on multiphasic contrast-enhanced computer tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We designed to construct one 3D VOI-based deep learning radiomics strategy for identifying lymph node metastases (LNM) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma on the basis of multiphasic contrast-enhanced computer tomography and to assist clinical decision-making.

Methods

This retrospective research enrolled 139 PDAC patients undergoing pre-operative arterial phase and venous phase scanning examination between 2015 and 2021. A primary group (training group and validation group) and an independent test group were divided. The DLR strategy included three sections. (1) Residual network three dimensional-18 (Resnet 3D-18) architecture was constructed for deep learning feature extraction. (2) Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator model was used for feature selection
