Correlation of T1- to T2-weighted signal intensity ratio with T1- and T2-relaxation time and IDH mutation status in glioma.

ABSTRACT: The current study aimed to test whether the ratio of T1-weighted to T2-weighted signal intensity (T1W/T2W ratio: rT1/T2) derived from conventional MRI could act as a surrogate relaxation time predictive of IDH mutation status in histologically lower-grade gliomas. Strong exponential correlations were found between rT1/T2 and each of T1- and T2-relaxation times in eight subjects (rT1/T2 = 1.63exp^{-0.0005T1-relax} + 0.30 and rT1/T2 = 1.27exp^{-0.0081T2-relax} + 0.48; R² = 0.64 and 0.59, respectively). In a test cohort of 25 patients, mean rT1/T2 (mrT1/T2) was significantly higher in IDHwt tumors than in IDHmt tumors (p < 0.05) and the optimal cut-off of mrT1/T2 for discriminating IDHmt was 0.666-0.677, (AUC = 0.75, p < 0.05), which was validated in an external domestic cohort of 29 patients (AUC = 0.75, p = 0.02). However, this result was not validated in an external international cohort derived from TCIA/TCGA (AUC = 0.63, p = 0.08). The t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding analysis revealed a greater diversity in image characteristics within the TCIA/TCGA cohort than in the two domestic cohorts. The failure of external validation in the TCIA/TCGA cohort could be attributed to its wider variety of original imaging characteristics.

Project description:We conducted a feasibility study to predict malignant glioma grades via radiomic analysis using contrast-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance images (CE-T1WIs) and T2-weighted magnetic resonance images (T2WIs). We proposed a framework and applied it to CE-T1WIs and T2WIs (with tumor region data) acquired preoperatively from 157 patients with malignant glioma (grade III: 55, grade IV: 102) as the primary dataset and 67 patients with malignant glioma (grade III: 22, grade IV: 45) as the validation dataset. Radiomic features such as size/shape, intensity, histogram, and texture features were extracted from the tumor regions on the CE-T1WIs and T2WIs. The Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney (WMW) test and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator logistic regression (LASSO-LR) were employed to select the radiomic features. Various machine learning (ML) algorithms were used to construct prediction models for the malignant glioma grades using the selected radiomic features. Leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) was implemented to evaluate the performance of the prediction models in the primary dataset. The selected radiomic features for all folds in the LOOCV of the primary dataset were used to perform an independent validation. As evaluation indices, accuracies, sensitivities, specificities, and values for the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (or simply the area under the curve (AUC)) for all prediction models were calculated. The mean AUC value for all prediction models constructed by the ML algorithms in the LOOCV of the primary dataset was 0.902 ± 0.024 (95% CI (confidence interval), 0.873-0.932). In the independent validation, the mean AUC value for all prediction models was 0.747 ± 0.034 (95% CI, 0.705-0.790). The results of this study suggest that the malignant glioma grades could be sufficiently and easily predicted by preparing the CE-T1WIs, T2WIs, and tumor delineations for each patient. Our proposed framework may be an effective tool for preoperatively grading malignant gliomas.

Project description:Background The biological diagnosis criteria of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) suggests that previous work may misclassify the cognitive impairment caused by other factors into AD. Consequently, re-assessing the imaging profile of AD continuum is needed. Considering the high vulnerability of cortical association fibers, we aimed to elucidate the cortical demyelination process in the AD continuum biologically defined. Methods According to the biological diagnosis criteria, we determined the positive amyloid status (A+) as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid1 - 42 < 192 pg/ml, Florbetapir Positron emission tomography (PET) composite standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) >1.11. Also, the positive Tau status (T+) was determined as p-Tau181 > 23 pg/ml. Based on the cognitive characterization, we further categorized 252 subjects into 27 cognitively unimpaired with normal AD biomarkers (A-T-, controls), 49 preclinical AD (A+T+), 113 AD with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (A+T+), and 63 AD dementia (A+T+). We estimated the intracortical myelin content used the T1- and T2-weighted (T1W/T2W) ratio mapping. To investigate the sensitivity of the ratio mapping, we also utilized well-validated AD imaging biomarkers as the reference, including gray matter volume and Fludeoxyglucose PET (FDG-PET). Based on the general linear model, we conducted the voxel-wise two-sample T-tests between the controls and each group in the AD continuum. Results Compared to the controls, the results showed that the preclinical AD patients exhibited decreased T1W/T2W ratio value in the right inferior parietal lobule (IPL); as the disease progresses, the prodromal AD patients demonstrated lower ratio value in bilateral IPL, with hippocampus (HP) atrophy. Lastly, the AD dementia patients exhibited decreased ratio value in bilateral IPL and hippocampus; also, we observed the bilateral temporal cortices atrophy and widespread decreased metabolism in the AD dementia patients. After corrected with gray volume, the results remained mostly unchanged. Conclusion Our study implied the decreased right IPL T1W/T2W ratio might represent early AD-related demyelination in disease continuum. Additionally, we demonstrated that the T1W/T2W ratio mapping is an easy-to-implement and sensitive metric to assess the intracortical myelin content in AD, particularly in the early stage.
