PA与WT之间差异有统计学意义的特征中,GLCM数量最多。最终筛选出11个特征参数作为子集建立RF、LR、SVM共3个模型,其中RF的效能最佳,准确度、灵敏度、特异度及曲线下面积(area under curve,AUC)分别为83.3%、78.6%、88.0%及0.882。
结论:
基于CT的放射组学模型具有良好的分类效能,可于术前有效地鉴别PA与WT。
Abstract
Objective:
To investigate the value of radiomics models based on computed tomography (CT) in differentiating parotid pleomorphic adenoma (PA) from Warthin tumor (WT).
Methods:
A total of 28 patients with PA and 25 patients with WT
which were confirmed by pathology
were collected. MaZda was used to extract 5 kinds of radiomics features
including histogram analysis (HA)
gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM)
gray-level run length matrix (GLRLM)
absolute gradient (AG) and autoregressive model (AR)
of tumors in plain CT scan images. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to analyze the radiomics
the characteristics with ICC>0.75 in PA and WT groups were selected. Then
the feature parameters with statistically significant difference between the two groups were selected and further screened by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis. Random forest (RF)
logistic regression (LR) and support vector machine (SVM) classifier models were established
using the feature parameters which were finally selected
and their effectiveness were evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results:
Among the features with statistically significant difference between PA and WT
the number of GLCM was the largest. Finally
11 feature parameters were selected as subset to establish three models of RF
LR and SVM
among which RF had the best performance
corresponding accuracy
sensitivity
specificity and area under curve (AUC) were 83.3%
78.6%
88.0% and 0.882
respectively.
Conclusion:
Radiomics models based on CT have good classification efficiency
which can distinguish PA and WT effectively before operation.
