To investigate the application value of support vector machine (SVM) model based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) and amide proton transfer- weighted (APTW) imaging in predicting isocitrate dehydrogenase 1(IDH-1) mutation and Ki-67 expression in glioma. The DWI, DCE and APTW images of 309 patients with glioma confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed and divided into the IDH-1 group (IDH-1(+) group and IDH-1(-) group) and Ki-67 group (low expression group (Ki-67 ≤ 10%) and high expression group (Ki-67 > 10%)). All cases were divided into the training set, and validation set according to the ratio of 7:3. The training set was used to select features and establish machine learning models. The SVM model was established with the data after feature selection. Four single sequence models and one combined model were established in IDH-1 group and Ki-67 group. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the model. Validation set data was used for further validation. Both in the IDH-1 group and Ki-67 group, the combined model had better predictive efficiency than single sequence model, although the single sequence model had a better predictive efficiency. In the Ki-67 group, the combined model was built from six selected radiomics features, and the AUC were 0.965 and 0.931 in the training and validation sets, respectively. In the IDH-1 group, the combined model was built from four selected radiomics features, and the AUC were 0.997 and 0.967 in the training and validation sets, respectively. The radiomics model established by DWI, DCE and APTW images could be used to detect IDH-1 mutation and Ki-67 expression in glioma patients before surgery. The prediction performance of the radiomics model based on the combination sequence was better than that of the single sequence model.

In recent years, as deep learning has received widespread attention in the field of heart disease, some studies have explored the potential of deep learning based on coronary angiography (CAG) or coronary CT angiography (CCTA) images in detecting the extent of coronary artery stenosis. However, there is still a lack of a systematic understanding of its diagnostic accuracy, impeding the advancement of intelligent diagnosis of coronary artery stenosis. Therefore, we conducted this study to review the accuracy of image-based deep learning in detecting coronary artery stenosis. We retrieved PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science until April 11, 2023. The risk of bias in the included studies was appraised using the QUADAS-2 tool. We extracted the accuracy of deep learning in the test set and performed subgroup analyses by binary and multiclass classification scenarios. We performed a subgroup analysis based on different degrees of stenosis and applied a double arcsine transformation to process the data. The analysis was done by using R. Our systematic review finally included 18 studies, involving 3568 patients and 13,362 images. In the included studies, deep learning models were constructed based on CAG and CCTA. In binary classification tasks, the accuracy for detecting > 25%, > 50% and > 70% degrees of stenosis at the vessel level were 0.81 (95% CI: 0.71–0.85), 0.73 (95% CI: 0.58–0.88) and 0.61 (95% CI: 0.56–0.65), respectively. In multiclass classification tasks, the accuracy for detecting 0–25%, 25–50%, 50–70%, and 70–100% degrees of stenosis at the vessel level were 0.78 (95% CI: 0.73–0.84), 0.86 (95% CI: 0.78–0.93), 0.83 (95% CI: 0.70–0.97), and 0.70 (95% CI: 0.42–0.98), respectively. Our study shows that deep learning models based on CAG and CCTA appear to be relatively accurate in diagnosing different degrees of coronary artery stenosis. However, for various degrees of stenosis, their accuracy still needs to be further improved.

To evaluate early bone marrow microvascular changes in alloxan-induced diabetic rabbits using IDEAL-IQ fat quantification, texture analysis based on DCE-MRI Ktrans map, and metabolomics. 24 male Japanese rabbits were randomly divided into diabetic (n = 12) and control (n = 12) groups. All rabbits underwent sagittal MRI of the lumbar vertebrae at the 0th,4th, 8th, 12th, and 16th week, respectively. The fat fraction (FF) ratio and quantitative permeability of the lumbar bone marrow was measured. Texture parameters were extracted from DCE-MRI Ktrans map. At 16th week, lumbar vertebrae 5 and 6 were used for histological analysis. Lumbar vertebra 7 was crushed to obtain bone marrow for metabolomics research. The FF ratio and Ktrans of the lumbar bone marrow in diabetic group were increased significantly at 16th week (t = 2.226, P = 0.02; Z = -2.721, P < 0.01). Nine texture feature parameters based on DCE-MRI Ktrans map were significantly different between the groups at the 16th week (all P < 0.05). Pathway analysis showed that diabetic bone marrow microvascular changes were mainly related to linoleic acid metabolism. Differential metabolites were correlated with the number of adipocytes, FF ratio, and permeability parameters. The integration of metabolomics with texture analysis based on DCE-MRI Ktrans map may be used to evaluate diabetic bone marrow microvascular changes at an early stage. It remains to be validated in clinical studies whether the integration of metabolomics with texture analysis based on the DCE-MRI Ktrans map can effectively evaluate diabetic bone marrow.

To establish a nomogram for differentiating malignant and benign focal liver lesions (FLLs) using ultrasomics features derived from contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). 527 patients were retrospectively enrolled. On the training cohort, ultrasomics features were extracted from CEUS and b-mode ultrasound (BUS). Automatic feature selection and model development were performed using the Ultrasomics-Platform software, outputting the corresponding ultrasomics scores. A nomogram based on the ultrasomics scores from artery phase (AP), portal venous phase (PVP) and delayed phase (DP) of CEUS, and clinical factors were established. On the validation cohort, the diagnostic performance of the nomogram was assessed and compared with seniorexpert and resident radiologists. In the training cohort, the AP, PVP and DP scores exhibited better differential performance than BUS score, with area under the curve (AUC) of 84.1-85.1% compared with the BUS (74.6%, P < 0.05). In the validation cohort, the AUC of combined nomogram and expert was significantly higher than that of the resident (91.4% vs. 89.5% vs. 79.3%, P < 0.05). The combined nomogram had a comparable sensitivity with the expert and resident (95.2% vs. 98.4% vs. 97.6%), while the expert had a higher specificity than the nomogram and the resident (80.6% vs. 72.2% vs. 61.1%, P = 0.205). A CEUS ultrasomics based nomogram had an expert level performance in FLL characterization.

Recently emerged SAM-Med2D represents a state-of-the-art advancement in medical image segmentation. Through fine-tuning the Large Visual Model, Segment Anything Model (SAM), on extensive medical datasets, it has achieved impressive results in cross-modal medical image segmentation. However, its reliance on interactive prompts may restrict its applicability under specific conditions. To address this limitation, we introduce SAM-AutoMed, which achieves automatic segmentation of medical images by replacing the original prompt encoder with an improved MobileNet v3 backbone. The performance on multiple datasets surpasses both SAM and SAM-Med2D. Current enhancements on the Large Visual Model SAM lack applications in the field of medical image classification. Therefore, we introduce SAM-MedCls, which combines the encoder of SAM-Med2D with our designed attention modules to construct an end-to-end medical image classification model. It performs well on datasets of various modalities, even achieving state-of-the-art results, indicating its potential to become a universal model for medical image classification.
最近出现的 SAM-Med2D 代表了医学图像分割领域的最新进展。通过在大量医疗数据集上对大型视觉模型--任意分割模型(SAM)进行微调,它在跨模态医疗图像分割方面取得了令人瞩目的成果。然而,它对交互式提示的依赖可能会限制其在特定条件下的适用性。为了解决这一局限性,我们引入了 SAM-AutoMed,它通过用改进的 MobileNet v3 骨干网取代原有的提示编码器来实现医学图像的自动分割。它在多个数据集上的性能超过了 SAM 和 SAM-Med2D。目前对大型视觉模型 SAM 的改进缺乏在医学图像分类领域的应用。因此,我们推出了 SAM-MedCls,它将 SAM-Med2D 的编码器与我们设计的注意力模块相结合,构建了端到端的医学图像分类模型。它在各种模式的数据集上表现良好,甚至达到了最先进的结果,这表明它有潜力成为医学图像分类的通用模型。

To evaluate the prediction value of Dual-energy CT (DECT)-based quantitative parameters and radiomics model in preoperatively predicting muscle invasion in bladder cancer (BCa). A retrospective study was performed on 126 patients with BCa who underwent DECT urography (DECTU) in our hospital. Patients were randomly divided into training and test cohorts with a ratio of 7:3. Quantitative parameters derived from DECTU were identified through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis to construct a DECT model. Radiomics features were extracted from the 40, 70, 100 keV and iodine-based material-decomposition (IMD) images in the venous phase to construct radiomics models from individual and combined images using a support vector machine classifier, and the optimal performing model was chosen as the final radiomics model. Subsequently, a fusion model combining the DECT parameters and the radiomics model was established. The diagnostic performances of all three models were evaluated through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the clinical usefulness was estimated using decision curve analysis (DCA). The normalized iodine concentration (NIC) in DECT was an independent factor in diagnosing muscle invasion of BCa. The optimal multi-image radiomics model had predictive performance with an area-under-the-curve (AUC) of 0.867 in the test cohort, better than the AUC = 0.704 with NIC. The fusion model showed an increased level of performance, although the difference in AUC (0.893) was not statistically significant. Additionally, it demonstrated superior performance in DCA. For lesions smaller than 3 cm, the fusion model showed a high predictive capability, achieving an AUC value of 0.911. There was a slight improvement in model performance, although the difference was not statistically significant. This improvement was observed when comparing the AUC values of the DECT and radiomics models, which were 0.726 and 0.884, respectively. The proposed fusion model combing NIC and the optimal multi-image radiomics model in DECT showed good diagnostic capability in predicting muscle invasiveness of BCa.

We aimed to probe the diagnostic value of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound (TV-CDU) parameters in cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) and CSP sub-types, and the relevant factors affecting patients’ surgical effects. Seventy-five CSP patients (all requested termination of pregnancy) were selected as the observation group, and 75 normal pregnant women with a history of cesarean section were selected as the control group. All the study subjects underwent TV-CDU and their cesarean scar muscle (CSM) thickness, minimum sagittal muscle thickness and resistance index (RI) of blood flow in the anterior wall of the lower uterine segment were calculated. The diagnostic value of CSM, minimum sagittal muscle thickness, and RI for CSP and CSP sub-types was analyzed. The patients in the observation group were grouped into the effective group and the ineffective group according to whether the surgical treatment was effective or not, and the independent factors affecting CSP efficacy were analyzed. The observation group had lower CSM, minimum sagittal muscle thickness and RI than the control group. CSM, RI, and minimum sagittal thickness in patients with type II CSP were lower than those in patients with type I, and these indicators in patients with type III were lower than those in patients with type II. The area under the curve (AUC) of CSM, RI and minimum sagittal muscle thickness in combination for CSP diagnosis and the AUC for CSP sub-types were higher than those of each indicator alone. Gestational sac size and CSM were independent factors affecting CSP treatment. Changes in TV-CDU parameters facilitates CSP diagnosis after cesarean section.

To design a pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGN) classification method based on computed tomography (CT) radiomics and machine learning for prediction of invasion in early-stage ground-glass opacity (GGO) pulmonary adenocarcinoma. This retrospective study included pulmonary GGN patients who were histologically confirmed to have adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), or invasive adenocarcinoma cancer (IAC) from 2020 to 2023. CT images of all patients were automatically segmented and 107 radiomic features were obtained for each patient. Classification models were developed using random forest (RF) and cross-validation, including three one-versus-others models and one three-class model. For each model, features were ranked by normalized Gini importance, and a minimal subset was selected with a cumulative importance exceeding 0.9. These selected features were then used to train the final models. The models’ performance metrics, including area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, were computed. AUC and accuracy were compared to determine the final optimal method. The study comprised 193 patients (mean age 54 ± 11 years, 65 men), including 65 AIS, 54 MIA, and 74 IAC, divided into one training cohort (N = 154) and one test cohort (N = 39). The final three-class RF model outperformed three individual one-versus-others models in distinguishing each class from the other two. For the multiclass classification model, the AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.87, 0.79, 0.62, and 0.88 for AIS; 0.90, 0.79, 0.54, and 0.89 for MIA; and 0.87, 0.69, 0.73, and 0.67 for IAC, respectively. A radiomics-based multiclass RF model could effectively differentiate three types of pulmonary GGN, which enabled early diagnosis of GGO pulmonary adenocarcinoma.

Spectral imaging of photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) scanners allows for generating virtual non-contrast (VNC) reconstruction. By analyzing 12 abdominal organs, we aimed to test the reliability of VNC reconstructions in preserving HU values compared to real unenhanced CT images. Our study included 34 patients with pancreatic cystic neoplasm (PCN). The VNC reconstructions were generated from unenhanced, arterial, portal, and venous phase PCD-CT scans using the Liver-VNC algorithm. The observed 11 abdominal organs were segmented by the TotalSegmentator algorithm, the PCNs were segmented manually. Average densities were extracted from unenhanced scans (HUunenhanced), postcontrast (HUpostcontrast) scans, and VNC reconstructions (HUVNC). The error was calculated as HUerror=HUVNC–HUunenhanced. Pearson’s or Spearman’s correlation was used to assess the association. Reproducibility was evaluated by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Significant differences between HUunenhanced and HUVNC[unenhanced] were found in vertebrae, paraspinal muscles, liver, and spleen. HUVNC[unenhanced] showed a strong correlation with HUunenhanced in all organs except spleen (r = 0.45) and kidneys (r = 0.78 and 0.73). In all postcontrast phases, the HUVNC had strong correlations with HUunenhanced in all organs except the spleen and kidneys. The HUerror had significant correlations with HUunenhanced in the muscles and vertebrae; and with HUpostcontrast in the spleen, vertebrae, and paraspinal muscles in all postcontrast phases. All organs had at least one postcontrast VNC reconstruction that showed good-to-excellent agreement with HUunenhanced during ICC analysis except the vertebrae (ICC: 0.17), paraspinal muscles (ICC: 0.64–0.79), spleen (ICC: 0.21–0.47), and kidneys (ICC: 0.10–0.31). VNC reconstructions are reliable in at least one postcontrast phase for most organs, but further improvement is needed before VNC can be utilized to examine the spleen, kidneys, and vertebrae.
