Detection of Aspartylglucosaminuria Patients from Magnetic Resonance Images by a Machine-Learning-Based Approach.

ABSTRACT: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging data can be used to develop computer-assisted diagnostic tools for neurodegenerative diseases such as aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU) and other lysosomal storage disorders. MR images contain features that are suitable for the classification and differentiation of affected individuals from healthy persons. Here, comparisons were made between MRI features extracted from different types of magnetic resonance images. Random forest classifiers were trained to classify AGU patients (n = 22) and healthy controls (n = 24) using volumetric features extracted from T1-weighted MR images, the zone variance of gray level size zone matrix (GLSZM) calculated from magnitude susceptibility-weighted MR images, and the caudate-thalamus intensity ratio computed from T2-weighted MR images. The leave-one-out cross-validation and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were used to compare different models. The left-right-averaged, normalized volumes of the 25 nuclei of the thalamus and the zone variance of the thalamus demonstrated equal and excellent performance as classifier features for binary organization between AGU patients and healthy controls. Our findings show that texture-based features of susceptibility-weighted images and thalamic volumes can differentiate AGU patients from healthy controls with a very low error rate.

Project description:Background and objectivesAssessing treatment response in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumors necessitates developing more objective and quantitative approaches. A machine learning-based approach is presented in this exploratory study for GBM patients' treatment response assessment based on radiomics extracted from magnetic resonance (MR) images.MethodsMR images from 77 GBM patients were acquired at two post-surgery stages and preprocessed. From these images, 107 radiomics were extracted from the segmented tumoral cavities. The most informative features for training machine learning (ML) classifiers were identified using the Spearman correlation analysis of features retained by the forward sequential and LASSO algorithms. Applied machine learning models included support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), AdaBoost, categorical boosting (CatBoost), light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), Naïve Bayes (NB) and logistic regression (LR). Ten-fold cross-validation was used to validate the models. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 27; p-value < 0.05 was considered significant.ResultsThe Naïve Bayes classifier demonstrated the highest performance among the trained models, achieving an AUC (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve) of 0.86 ± 0.13 when trained on the seven features selected by the forward sequential algorithm and an AUC of 0.84 ± 0.14 when trained using the five features chosen by the LASSO algorithm. The second-best performance was observed with the KNN classifier, which achieved an AUC of 0.80 ± 0.17 when trained on the features selected by the forward sequential algorithm.ConclusionFindings demonstrated that MRI-based radiomics could be used as distinctive features to train ML models for GBM patients' treatment response assessment. Trained ML classifiers based on these features serve as aiding tools to expedite the quantitative assessment of GBM patients' treatment response besides qualitative evaluations.

Project description:BackgroundThe severity assessment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) on MR images is crucial for selecting suitable surgical candidates. However, the interpretation of MR images is time-consuming and requires repetitive work. This study aims to develop and evaluate a deep learning-based diagnostic model for automated LDH detection and classification on lumbar axial T2-weighted MR images.MethodsA total of 1115 patients were analyzed in this retrospective study; both a development dataset (1015 patients, 15 249 images) and an external test dataset (100 patients, 1273 images) were utilized. According to the Michigan State University (MSU) classification criterion, experts labeled all images with consensus, and the final labeled results were regarded as the reference standard. The automated diagnostic model comprised Faster R-CNN and ResNeXt101 as the detection and classification network, respectively. The deep learning-based diagnostic performance was evaluated by calculating mean intersection over union (IoU), accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, F1 score, the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC), and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsHigh detection consistency was obtained in the internal test dataset (mean IoU = 0.82, precision = 98.4%, sensitivity = 99.4%) and external test dataset (mean IoU = 0.70, precision = 96.3%, sensitivity = 97.8%). Overall accuracy for LDH classification was 87.70% (95% CI: 86.59%-88.86%) and 74.23% (95% CI: 71.83%-76.75%) in the internal and external test datasets, respectively. For internal testing, the proposed model achieved a high agreement in classification (ICC = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.86-0.88, P < 0.001), which was higher than that of external testing (ICC = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.76-0.81, P < 0.001). The AUC for model classification was 0.965 (95% CI: 0.962-0.968) and 0.916 (95% CI: 0.908-0.925) in the internal and external test datasets, respectively.ConclusionsThe automated diagnostic model achieved high performance in detecting and classifying LDH and exhibited considerable consistency with experts' classification.

Project description:Purpose: The construction and validation of a radiomics nomogram based on machine learning using magnetic resonance image (MRI) for predicting the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in patients with breast cancer (BCa). Methods: This retrospective investigation consisted of 158 patients who were diagnosed with BCa and underwent MRI before NACT, of which 33 patients experienced pathological complete response (pCR) by the postoperative pathological examination. The patients with BCa were divided into the training set (n = 110) and test set (n = 48) randomly. The features were selected by the maximum relevance minimum redundancy (mRMR) and absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm in the training set. In return, the radiomics signature was established using machine learning. The predictive score of each patient was calculated using the radiomics signature formula. Finally, the predictive scores and clinical factors were used to perform the multivariate logistic regression and construct the nomogram. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analyses were used to assess and validate the diagnostic accuracy of the nomogram in the test set. Lastly, the usefulness of the nomogram was confirmed via decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: The radiomics signature was well-discriminated in the training set [AUC 0.835, specificity 71.32%, and sensitivity 82.61%], and test set (AUC 0.834, specificity 73.21%, and sensitivity 80%). Containing the radiomics signature and hormone status, the radiomics nomogram showed good calibration and discrimination in the training set [AUC 0.888, specificity 79.31%, and sensitivity 86.96%] and test set (AUC 0.879, specificity 82.19%, and sensitivity 83.57%). The decision curve indicated the clinical usefulness of our nomogram. Conclusion: Our radiomics nomogram showed good discrimination in patients with BCa who experience pCR after NACT. The model may aid physicians in predicting how specific patients may respond to BCa treatments in the future.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study aimed to determine whether texture analysis (TA) and machine learning-based classifications can be applied in differential diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) using non-contrast cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images.MethodsIn this institutional review board-approved study, we consecutively enrolled 167 patients with CA (n = 85), HCM (n = 82), and 84 patients with normal CMR served as controls. All cases were randomized into training [119 patients (70%)] and validation [48 patients (30%)] groups. A total of 275 texture features were extracted from cine images. Based on regression analysis with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), nine machine learning models were established and their diagnostic performance determined.ResultsNineteen radiomics texture features derived from cine images were used to differentiate CA and HCM. In the validation cohort, the support vector machine (SVM), which had an accuracy of 0.85, showed the best performance (MCC = 0.637). Gray level non-uniformity (GLevNonU) was the single most effective feature. The combined model of radiomics texture features and conventional MR metrics had superior discriminatory performance (AUC = 0.89) over conventional MR metrics model (AUC = 0.79). Moreover, results showed that GLevNonU levels in HCM patients were significantly higher compared with levels in CA patients and control groups (P < 0.001). A cut-off of GLevNonU ≥ 25 was shown to differentiate between CA and HCM patients, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.86 (CI:0.804-0.920). Multiple comparisons tests showed that GLevNonU was significantly greater in LGE+, relative to LGE-patient groups (CA+ vs. CA- and HCM+ vs. HCM-, P = 0.01, 0.001, respectively).ConclusionMachine learning-based classifiers can accurately differentiate between CA and HCM on non-contrast cine images. The radiomics-MR combined model can be used to improve the discriminatory performance. TA may be used to assess myocardial microstructure changes that occur during different stages of cardiomyopathies.
