Analysis of computer-aided diagnostics in the preoperative diagnosis of ovarian cancer: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Different noninvasive imaging methods to predict the chance of malignancy of ovarian tumors are available. However, their predictive value is limited due to subjectivity of the reviewer. Therefore, more objective prediction models are needed. Computer-aided diagnostics (CAD) could be such a model, since it lacks bias that comes with currently used models. In this study, we evaluated the available data on CAD in predicting the chance of malignancy of ovarian tumors.

Methods

We searched for all published studies investigating diagnostic accuracy of CAD based on ultrasound, CT and MRI in pre-surgical patients with an ovarian tumor compared to reference standards.

Results

In thirty-one included studies, extracted features from three different imaging techniques were used in different mathematical models. All studies assessed CAD based on machine learning on ultrasound, CT scan and MRI scan images. Per imaging method, subsequently ultrasound, CT and MRI, sensitivities ranged from 40.3 to 100%; 84.6-100% and 66.7-100% and specificities ranged from 76.3-100%; 69-100% and 77.8-100%. Results could not be pooled, due to broad heterogeneity. Although the majority of studies report high performances, they are at considerable risk of overfitting due to the absence of an independent test set.

Conclusion

Based on this literature review, different CAD for ultrasound, CT scans and MRI scans seem promising to aid physicians in assessing ovarian tumors through their objective and potentially cost-effective character. However, performance should be evaluated per imaging technique. Prospective and larger datasets with external validation are desired to make their results generalizable.

Project description:ObjectiveOur aim was to propose a preoperative computer-aided diagnosis scheme to differentiate pancreatic serous cystic neoplasms from other pancreatic cystic neoplasms, providing supportive opinions for clinicians and avoiding overtreatment.Materials and methodsIn this retrospective study, 260 patients with pancreatic cystic neoplasm were included. Each patient underwent a multidetector row computed tomography scan and pancreatic resection. In all, 200 patients constituted a cross-validation cohort, and 60 patients formed an independent validation cohort. Demographic information, clinical information, and multidetector row computed tomography images were obtained from Picture Archiving and Communication Systems. The peripheral margin of each neoplasm was manually outlined by experienced radiologists. A radiomics system containing 24 guideline-based features and 385 radiomics high-throughput features was designed. After the feature extraction, least absolute shrinkage selection operator regression was used to select the most important features. A support vector machine classifier with 5-fold cross-validation was applied to build the diagnostic model. The independent validation cohort was used to validate the performance.ResultsOnly 31 of 102 serous cystic neoplasm cases in this study were recognized correctly by clinicians before the surgery. Twenty-two features were selected from the radiomics system after 100 bootstrapping repetitions of the least absolute shrinkage selection operator regression. The diagnostic scheme performed accurately and robustly, showing the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.767, sensitivity = 0.686, and specificity = 0.709. In the independent validation cohort, we acquired similar results with receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.837, sensitivity = 0.667, and specificity = 0.818.ConclusionThe proposed radiomics-based computer-aided diagnosis scheme could increase preoperative diagnostic accuracy and assist clinicians in making accurate management decisions.

Project description:ImportanceThe recent advances in the field of machine learning have raised expectations that computer-aided diagnosis will become the standard for the diagnosis of melanoma.ObjectiveTo critically review the current literature and compare the diagnostic accuracy of computer-aided diagnosis with that of human experts.Data sourcesThe MEDLINE, arXiv, and PubMed Central databases were searched to identify eligible studies published between January 1, 2002, and December 31, 2018.Study selectionStudies that reported on the accuracy of automated systems for melanoma were selected. Search terms included melanoma, diagnosis, detection, computer aided, and artificial intelligence.Data extraction and synthesisEvaluation of the risk of bias was performed using the QUADAS-2 tool, and quality assessment was based on predefined criteria. Data were analyzed from February 1 to March 10, 2019.Main outcomes and measuresSummary estimates of sensitivity and specificity and summary receiver operating characteristic curves were the primary outcomes.ResultsThe literature search yielded 1694 potentially eligible studies, of which 132 were included and 70 offered sufficient information for a quantitative analysis. Most studies came from the field of computer science. Prospective clinical studies were rare. Combining the results for automated systems gave a melanoma sensitivity of 0.74 (95% CI, 0.66-0.80) and a specificity of 0.84 (95% CI, 0.79-0.88). Sensitivity was lower in studies that used independent test sets than in those that did not (0.51; 95% CI, 0.34-0.69 vs 0.82; 95% CI, 0.77-0.86; P < .001); however, the specificity was similar (0.83; 95% CI, 0.71-0.91 vs 0.85; 95% CI, 0.80-0.88; P = .67). In comparison with dermatologists' diagnosis, computer-aided diagnosis showed similar sensitivities and a 10 percentage points lower specificity, but the difference was not statistically significant. Studies were heterogeneous and substantial risk of bias was found in all but 4 of the 70 studies included in the quantitative analysis.Conclusions and relevanceAlthough the accuracy of computer-aided diagnosis for melanoma detection is comparable to that of experts, the real-world applicability of these systems is unknown and potentially limited owing to overfitting and the risk of bias of the studies at hand.
