ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the performance of multiparametric neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) radiomics in distinguishing between glioblastoma (Gb) and solitary brain metastasis (SBM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, NODDI images were curated from 109 patients with Gb (n = 57) or SBM (n = 52). Automatically segmented multiple volumes of interest (VOIs) encompassed the main tumor regions, including necrosis, solid tumor, and peritumoral edema. Radiomics features were extracted for each main tumor region, using three NODDI parameter maps. Radiomics models were developed based on these three NODDI parameter maps and their amalgamation to differentiate between Gb and SBM. Additionally, radiomics models were constructed based on morphological magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion imaging (diffusion-weighted imaging [DWI]; diffusion tensor imaging [DTI]) for performance comparison. RESULTS: The validation dataset results revealed that the performance of a single NODDI parameter map model was inferior to that of the combined NODDI model. In the necrotic regions, the combined NODDI radiomics model exhibited less than ideal discriminative capabilities (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC] = 0.701). For peritumoral edema regions, the combined NODDI radiomics model achieved a moderate level of discrimination (AUC = 0.820). Within the solid tumor regions, the combined NODDI radiomics model demonstrated superior performance (AUC = 0.904), surpassing the models of other VOIs. The comparison results demonstrated that the NODDI model was better than the DWI and DTI models, while those of the morphological MRI and NODDI models were similar. CONCLUSION: The NODDI radiomics model showed promising performance for preoperative discrimination between Gb and SBM. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: The NODDI radiomics model showed promising performance for preoperative discrimination between Gb and SBM, and radiomics features can be incorporated into the multidimensional phenotypic features that describe tumor heterogeneity. KEY POINTS: • The neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) radiomics model showed promising performance for preoperative discrimination between glioblastoma and solitary brain metastasis. • Compared with other tumor volumes of interest, the NODDI radiomics model based on solid tumor regions performed best in distinguishing the two types of tumors. • The performance of the single-parameter NODDI model was inferior to that of the combined-parameter NODDI model.

ABSTRACT

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: This project aims to investigate the diagnostic performance of multiple overlapping-echo detachment imaging (MOLED) technique-derived transverse relaxation time (T2) maps in predicting progesterone receptor (PR) and S100 expression in meningiomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 63 meningioma patients were enrolled from October 2021 to August 2022, who underwent a complete routine magnetic resonance imaging and T2 MOLED, which can characterize the whole brain transverse relaxation time within 32 seconds in a single scan. After the surgical resection of meningiomas, the expression levels of PR and S100 were determined by an experienced pathologist using immunohistochemistry techniques. Histogram analysis was performed in tumor parenchyma based on the parametric maps. Independent t test and Mann-Whitney U test were applied for the comparison of histogram parameters between different groups, with a significance level of P < .05. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis with 95% confidence interval were conducted for the diagnostic efficiency evaluation. RESULTS: PR-positive group had significantly elevated T2 histogram parameters (P = .001-.049) compared to the PR-negative group. The multivariate logistic regression model with T2 showed the highest area under the ROC curve (AUC) for predicting PR expression (AUC=0.818). Additionally, the multivariate model also had the best diagnostic performance for predicting meningioma S100 expression (AUC=0.768). CONCLUSION: The MOLED technique-derived T2 maps can distinguish PR and S100 status in meningiomas preoperatively.

ABSTRACT

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess the value of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI)-based radiomics models in differentiating glioblastoma (GB) from single brain metastasis (SBM) and compare their diagnostic performance with that of routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) models. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 110 patients who underwent DKI and were pathologically diagnosed with GB (n = 58) or SBM (n = 52) were enrolled in this study. Radiomics features were extracted from the manually delineated region of interest of the lesion. A training set for model development was constructed from the images of 88 random patients, and 22 patients were reserved for independent validation. Seven single-DKI-parametric models and a multi-DKI-parametric model were constructed using six classifiers, whereas four single-routine-sequence models (based on T2 weighted imaging, apparent diffusion coefficient, T2-dark-fluid, and contrast-enhanced T1 magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo) and a multisequence routine MRI model were constructed for comparison. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was conducted to assess the diagnostic performance. The areas under the curve (AUCs) of different models were compared using the DeLong test. RESULTS: The AUCs of the single-DKI-parametric models ranged from 0.800 to 0.933 (mean kurtosis [MK] model). The multi-DKI-parametric model had a slightly higher AUC (0.958) than the MK model; however, the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.688). In comparison, the AUCs of the routine MRI models ranged from 0.633 to 0.733 (multisequence routine MRI model). The AUC of the multi-DKI-parametric model was significantly higher than that of the multisequence routine MRI model (P = 0.042). CONCLUSION: The multi-DKI-parametric radiomics model exhibited better performance than that of the single-DKI-parametric models and routine MRI models in distinguishing GB from SBM.

ABSTRACT

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Stroke patients commonly face challenges during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations due to involuntary movements. This study aims to overcome these challenges by utilizing multiple overlapping-echo detachment (MOLED) quantitative technology. Through this technology, we also seek to detect microstructural changes of the normal-appearing corticospinal tract (NA-CST) in subacute-chronic stroke patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 79 patients underwent 3.0 T MRI scans, including routine scans and MOLED technique. A deep learning network was utilized for image reconstruction, and the accuracy, reliability, and resistance to motion of the MOLED technique were validated on phantoms and volunteers. Subsequently, we assessed motor dysfunction severity, ischemic lesion volume, T2 values of the bilateral NA-CST, and the T2 ratio (rT2) between the ipsilesional and contralesional NA-CST in patients. RESULTS: The MOLED technique showed high accuracy (P < 0.001) and excellent repeatability, with a mean coefficient of variation (CoV) of 1.11%. It provided reliable quantitative results even under head movement, with a mean difference (Meandiff)= 0.28% and a standard deviation difference (SDdiff)= 1.34%. Additionally, the T2 value of the ipsilesional NA-CST was significantly higher than contralesional side (P < 0.001), and a positive correlation was observed between rT2 and the severity of motor dysfunction (rs =0.575, P < 0.001). Furthermore, rT2 successfully predicted post-stroke motor impairment, with an area under the curve (AUC) was 0.883. CONCLUSION: The MOLED technique offers significant advantages for quantitatively imaging stroke patients with involuntary movements. Additionally, T2 mapping from MOLED can detect microstructural changes in the NA-CST, potentially aiding in monitoring stroke-induced motor impairment.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Meningioma subtype is crucial in treatment planning and prognosis delineation, for grade 1 meningiomas. T2 relaxometry could provide detailed microscopic information but is often limited by long scanning times. PURPOSE: To investigate the potential of T2 maps derived from multiple overlapping-echo detachment imaging (MOLED) for predicting meningioma subtypes and Ki-67 index, and to compare the diagnostic efficiency of two different region-of-interest (ROI) placements (whole-tumor and contrast-enhanced, respectively). STUDY TYPE: Prospective. PHANTOM/SUBJECTS: A phantom containing 11 tubes of MnCl2 at different concentrations, eight healthy volunteers, and 75 patients with grade 1 meningioma. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 3 T scanner. MOLED, T2-weighted spin-echo sequence, T2-dark-fluid sequence, and postcontrast T1-weighted gradient echo sequence. ASSESSMENT: Two ROIs were delineated: the whole-tumor area (ROI1) and contrast-enhanced area (ROI2). Histogram parameters were extracted from T2 maps. Meningioma subtypes and Ki-67 index were reviewed by a neuropathologist according to the 2021 classification criteria. STATISTICAL TESTS: Linear regression, Bland-Altman analysis, Pearson's correlation analysis, independent t test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test with Bonferroni correction, and multivariate logistic regression analysis with the P-value significance level of 0.05. RESULTS: The MOLED T2 sequence demonstrated excellent accuracy for phantoms and volunteers (Meandiff = -1.29%, SDdiff = 1.25% and Meandiff = 0.36%, SDdiff = 2.70%, respectively), and good repeatability for volunteers (average coefficient of variance = 1.13%; intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.877). For both ROI1 and ROI2, T2 variance had the highest area under the curves (area under the ROC curve = 0.768 and 0.761, respectively) for meningioma subtyping. There was no significant difference between the two ROIs (P = 0.875). Significant correlations were observed between T2 parameters and Ki-67 index (r = 0.237-0.374). DATA CONCLUSION: MOLED T2 maps can effectively differentiate between meningothelial, fibrous, and transitional meningiomas. Moreover, T2 histogram parameters were significantly correlated with the Ki-67 index. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: We created discriminative models of different regions of interest (ROIs) using radiomic texture features of neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) and evaluated the feasibility of each model in differentiating glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) from solitary brain metastasis (SBM). METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of 204 patients with GBM (n = 146) or SBM (n = 58). Radiomic texture features were extracted from five ROIs based on three metric maps (intracellular volume fraction, orientation dispersion index, and isotropic volume fraction of NODDI), including necrosis, solid tumors, peritumoral edema, tumor bulk volume (TBV), and abnormal bulk volume. Four feature selection methods and eight classifiers were used for the radiomic texture feature selection and model construction. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the models. Routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomic texture feature models generated in the same manner were used for the horizontal comparison. RESULTS: NODDI-radiomic texture analysis based on TBV subregions exhibited the highest accuracy (although nonsignificant) in differentiating GBM from SBM, with area under the ROC curve (AUC) values of 0.918 and 0.882 in the training and test datasets, respectively, compared to necrosis (AUCtraining:0.845, AUCtest:0.714), solid tumor (AUCtraining:0.852, AUCtest:0.821), peritumoral edema (AUCtraining:0.817, AUCtest:0.762), and ABV (AUCtraining:0.834, AUCtest:0.779). The performance of the five ROI radiomic texture models in routine MRI was inferior to that of the NODDI-radiomic texture model. CONCLUSION: Preoperative NODDI-radiomic texture analysis based on TBV subregions shows great potential for distinguishing GBM from SBM.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the value of pre-/post-contrast-enhanced T1 mapping and readout segmentation of long variable echo-train diffusion-weighted imaging (RESOLVE-DWI) for the differential diagnosis of parotid gland tumors. METHODS: A total of 128 patients with histopathologically confirmed parotid gland tumors [86 benign tumors (BTs) and 42 malignant tumors (MTs)] were retrospectively recruited. BTs were further divided into pleomorphic adenomas (PAs, n = 57) and Warthin's tumors (WTs, n = 15). MRI examinations were performed before and after contrast injection to measure the longitudinal relaxation time (T1) value (T1p and T1e, respectively) and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of the parotid gland tumors. The reduction in T1 (T1d) values and the percentage of T1 reduction (T1d%) were calculated. RESULTS: The T1d and ADC values of the BTs were considerably higher than those of the MTs (all P <.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of the T1d and ADC values for differentiating between BTs and MTs of the parotid was 0.618 and 0.804, respectively (all P <.05). The AUC of the T1p, T1d, T1d%, and ADC values for differentiating between PAs and WTs was 0.926, 0.945, 0.925, and 0.996, respectively (all P >.05). The ADC and T1d% + ADC values performed better in differentiating between PAs and MTs than the T1p, T1d, and T1d% (AUC values: 0.902, 0.909, 0.660, 0.726, and 0.736, respectively). The T1p, T1d, T1d%, and T1d% + T1p values all had high diagnosis efficacy in differentiating WTs from MTs (AUC values: 0.865, 0.890, 0.852, and 0.897, respectively, all P >.05). CONCLUSION: T1 mapping and RESOLVE-DWI can be used to differentiate parotid gland tumors quantitatively and can be complementary to each other.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Preoperative differentiation of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and solitary brain metastasis (SBM) contributes to guide neurosurgical decision-making. PURPOSE: To explore the value of histogram analysis based on neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) in differentiating between GBM and SBM and comparison of the diagnostic performance of two region of interest (ROI) placements. STUDY TYPE: Retrospective. POPULATION: In all, 109 patients with GBM (n = 57) or SBM (n = 52) were enrolled. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: A 3.0 T scanners. T2 -dark-fluid sequence, contrast-enhanced T1 magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo sequence, and NODDI. ASSESSMENT: ROIs were placed on the peritumoral edema area (ROI1) and whole tumor area (ROI2, included the cystic, necrotic, and hemorrhagic areas). Histogram parameters of each isotropic volume fraction (ISOVF), intracellular volume fraction (ICVF), and orientation dispersion index (ODI) from NODDI images for two ROIs were calculated, respectively. STATISTICAL TESTS: Mann-Whitney U test, independent t-test, chi-square test, multivariate logistic regression analysis, DeLong's test. RESULTS: For the ROI1 and ROI2, the ICVFmin and ODImean obtained the highest area under curve (AUC, AUC = 0.741 and 0.750, respectively) compared to other single parameters, and the AUC of the multivariate logistic regression model was 0.851 and 0.942, respectively. DeLong's test revealed significant difference in diagnostic performance between optimal single parameter and multivariate logistic regression model within the same ROI, and the multivariate logistic regression models between two different ROIs. DATA CONCLUSION: The performance of multivariate logistic regression model is superior to optimal single parameter in both ROIs based on NODDI histogram analysis to distinguish SBM from GBM, and the ROI placed on the whole tumor area exhibited better diagnostic performance. EVIDENCE LEVEL: 4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

ABSTRACT

Background and purpose: The differential diagnosis between solid glioma and brain inflammation is necessary but sometimes difficult. We assessed the effectiveness of multiple diffusion metrics of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in differentiating solid glioma from brain inflammation and compared the diagnostic performance of different DWI models. Materials and methods: Participants diagnosed with either glioma or brain inflammation with a solid lesion on MRI were enrolled in this prospective study from May 2016 to April 2023. Diffusion-weighted imaging was performed using a spin-echo echo-planar imaging sequence with five b values (500, 1,000, 1,500, 2000, and 2,500 s/mm2) in 30 directions for each b value, and one b value of 0 was included. The mean values of multiple diffusion metrics based on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI), mean apparent propagator (MAP), and neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) in the abnormal signal area were calculated. Comparisons between glioma and inflammation were performed. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of diffusion metrics were calculated. Results: 57 patients (39 patients with glioma and 18 patients with inflammation) were finally included. MAP model, with its metric non-Gaussianity (NG), shows the greatest diagnostic performance (AUC = 0.879) for differentiation of inflammation and glioma with atypical MRI manifestation. The AUC of DKI model, with its metric mean kurtosis (MK) are comparable to NG (AUC = 0.855), followed by NODDI model with intracellular volume fraction (ICVF) (AUC = 0.825). The lowest value was obtained in DTI with mean diffusivity (MD) (AUC = 0.758). Conclusion: Multiple diffusion metrics can be used in differentiation of inflammation and solid glioma. Non-Gaussianity (NG) from mean apparent propagator (MAP) model shows the greatest diagnostic performance for differentiation of inflammation and glioma.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Distinguishing glioblastoma (GBM) and solitary brain metastasis (SBM) is vital for determining the optimal treatment. GBM and SBM present similar imaging characteristics on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of quantitative analysis of mean apparent propagator (MAP)-MRI for distinguishing GBM and SBM. METHOD: Eighty-nine patients were enrolled. Regions of interest (ROIs), including the enhancing area (EA), peritumoural high signal intensity area (PHA), and maximum abnormal signal area (MASA), were manually delineated. The following MAP parameters for each region were measured: mean square displacement (MSD), non-Gaussianity (NG), NG axial (NGAx), NG vertical, Q-space inverse variance, return to origin probability (RTOP), return to axis probability (RTAP), and return to plane probability (RTPP). Normalised MAP values from each region were compared between the GBM and SBM groups, and their diagnostic efficiency was assessed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to create the most accurate model. RESULTS: Compared with the SBM group, the MSD was significantly lower in the GBM group, whereas the RTAP, RTOP, and RTPP were significantly higher in each region, except for RTAPPHA (all P < 0.05). RTPPPHA, MSDEA, and RTPPMASA showed the most significant differences (all P < 0.01). The best logistic regression model combined RTPPPHA, MSDEA, and NGAxMASA (area under the curve, 0.840). CONCLUSIONS: Quantitative analysis of MAP-MRI is useful for distinguishing GBM from SBM. Multivariate analysis combined with multiple ROIs can improve diagnostic performance.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: We aimed to develop and validate radiomic nomograms to allow preoperative differentiation between benign- and malignant parotid gland tumors (BPGT and MPGT, respectively), as well as between pleomorphic adenomas (PAs) and Warthin tumors (WTs). Materials and Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 183 parotid gland tumors (68 PAs, 62 WTs, and 53 MPGTs) and divided them into training (n = 128) and testing (n = 55) cohorts. In total, 2553 radiomics features were extracted from fat-saturated T2-weighted images, apparent diffusion coefficient maps, and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images to construct single-, double-, and multi-sequence combined radiomics models, respectively. The radiomics score (Rad-score) was calculated using the best radiomics model and clinical features to develop the radiomics nomogram. The receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to assess these models, and their performances were compared using DeLong's test. Calibration curves and decision curve analysis were used to assess the clinical usefulness of these models. Results: The multi-sequence combined radiomics model exhibited better differentiation performance (BPGT vs. MPGT, AUC=0.863; PA vs. MPGT, AUC=0.929; WT vs. MPGT, AUC=0.825; PA vs. WT, AUC=0.927) than the single- and double sequence radiomics models. The nomogram based on the multi-sequence combined radiomics model and clinical features attained an improved classification performance (BPGT vs. MPGT, AUC=0.907; PA vs. MPGT, AUC=0.961; WT vs. MPGT, AUC=0.879; PA vs. WT, AUC=0.967). Conclusions: Radiomics nomogram yielded excellent diagnostic performance in differentiating BPGT from MPGT, PA from MPGT, and PA from WT.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To assess the value of histogram analysis, using diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI), in differentiating glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) from single brain metastasis (SBM) and to compare the diagnostic efficiency of different region of interest (ROI) placements. METHOD: Sixty-seven patients with histologically confirmed GBM (n = 35) and SBM (n = 32) were recruited. Two ROIs-the contrast-enhanced area and whole-tumor area-were delineated across all slices. Eleven histogram parameters of fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), and mean kurtosis (MK) from both ROIs were calculated. All histogram parameter values were compared between GBM and SBM, using the Mann-Whitney U test. The accuracies of different histogram parameters were compared using the McNemar test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were conducted to assess the diagnostic performance. RESULTS: In the contrast-enhanced area, FA10, FA25, FA75, FA90, FAmean, FAmedian, FAmax, MDmax, MDskewness, and MKskewness were significantly higher for GBM than for SBM. FAskewness was significantly lower for GBM than for SBM. FA25 (0.815) had the highest area under the curve (AUC). In the whole-tumor area, FA10, FA25, FA75, FA90, FASD, FAmean, FAmedian, FAmax, MDmax, MDskewness, and MKskewness were significantly higher for GBM than for SBM. FAmedian (0.805) had the highest AUC. The accuracy of FA25 in the contrast-enhanced area was significantly higher than that of the FAmedian in the whole-tumor area. CONCLUSIONS: GBM and SBM can be differentiated using the DKI-based histogram analysis. Placing the ROI on the contrast-enhanced area results in better discrimination.

ABSTRACT

Background The isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genotype and 1p/19q codeletion status are key molecular markers included in glioma pathologic diagnosis. Advanced diffusion models provide additional microstructural information. Purpose To compare the diagnostic performance of histogram features of multiple diffusion metrics in predicting glioma IDH and 1p/19q genotyping. Materials and Methods In this prospective study, participants were enrolled from December 2018 to December 2020. Diffusion-weighted imaging was performed by using a spin-echo echo-planar imaging sequence with five b values (500, 1000, 1500, 2000, and 2500 sec/mm2) in 30 directions for every b value and one b value of 0. Diffusion metrics of diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI), diffusion-kurtosis imaging (DKI), neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI), and mean apparent propagator (MAP) were calculated, and their histogram features were analyzed in regions that included the entire tumor and peritumoral edema. Comparisons between groups were performed according to IDH genotype and 1p/19q codeletion status. Logistic regression analysis was used to predict the IDH and 1p/19q genotypes. Results A total of 215 participants (115 men, 100 women; mean age, 48 years ± 13 [standard deviation]) with grade II (n = 68), grade III (n = 35), and grade IV (n = 112) glioma were included. Among the DTI, DKI, NODDI, MAP, and total diffusion models, there were no significant differences in the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCs) for predicting IDH mutations (AUC, 0.76, 0.82, 0.78, 0.81, and 0.82, respectively; P > .05) and 1p/19q codeletion in gliomas with IDH mutations (AUC, 0.83, 0.81, 0.82, 0.83, and 0.88, respectively; P > .05). A regression model with an R2 value of 0.84 was used for the Ki-67 labeling index and histogram features of the diffusion metrics. Conclusion Whole-tumor histogram analysis of multiple diffusion metrics is a promising approach for glioma isocitrate dehydrogenase and 1p/19q genotyping, and the performance of diffusion-tensor imaging is similar to that of advanced diffusion models.
