ABSTRACT
Objective:
To explore the value of spectral CT radiomics quantitative features on differentiating lung cancer nodule from inflammatory nodule.Methods:
The spectral CT imaging data of 96 lung cancer nodules and 45 inflammatory nodules from the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were analyzed retrospectively. According to a ratio of two to one, patients were randomly assigned to the training group and validation group, including 64 lung cancer nodules and 30 inflammatory nodules in the training group, 32 lung cancer nodules and 15 inflammatory nodules in the validation group. MaZda software was used for radiomic feature extraction from the 70 keV monochromatic images in arterial phase and venous phase for lung cancer nodules and inflammatory nodules in the training group. Fisher coefficients (Fisher), classification error probability combined average correlation coefficients (POE+ACC) and mutual information (MI) were used to select 10 optimal features for the optimal feature subsets. The optimal feature subsets were analyzed by using linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and nonlinear discriminant analysis (NDA) to calculate the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precise and F1 score in differentiating lung cancer nodule from inflammatory nodule. The prediction model was established using the optimal feature subsets in the training group with artificial neural network (ANN). Then the established prediction model was used to differentiate lung cancer nodule from inflammatory nodule in the validation group. Delong test was used to compare the differences in the AUC of different optimal feature subsets.Results:
In arterial phase, the optimal feature subset obtained from MI-NDA had the highest AUC of 0.888 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.806-0.943], accuracy rate of 88.3%, sensitivity of 87.5% and specificity of 90.0%, on the differential diagnosis of lung cancer nodule and inflammatory nodule in the training group. There was no significant difference in AUC between MI-NDA and Fisher-NDA or (POE+ACC)-NDA method ( Z=1.941, P=0.052; Z=1.683, P=0.092). In venous phase, the optimal feature subset obtained from (POE+ACC)-NDA had the highest AUC of 0.846 (95%CI 0.757-0.912), accuracy rate of 87.2%, sensitivity of 92.2% and specificity of 76.7%, on the differential diagnosis of lung cancer nodule and inflammatory nodule in the training group. There was no significant difference in AUC between(POE+ACC)-NDA and MI-NDA method ( Z=1.354, P=0.18), but significant difference between (POE+ACC)-NDA and Fisher-NDA method ( Z=2.423, P=0.015). In the validation group and training group, the optimal feature subset selected by MI-NDA method had the highest AUC of 0.888(95%CI 0.806-0.943) and 0.871(95%CI 0.741-0.951).Conclusion:
Spectral CT radiomics quantitative features have great value on the differential diagnosis of lung cancer nodule and inflammatory nodule.
