e15086 Background: Metastatic Colorectal cancer (mCRC) is the 2nd cause of cancer death worldwide. Repeated cycles of therapies, combined with surgery in oligo-metastatic cases, are the therapeutic standard in mCRC. However, this strategy is seldom resolutive. Different lesions in in the same patient could have different responses to systemic therapy. Recently, CT texture analysis (CTTA) had been shown to potentially provide with prognostic and predictive markers, overcoming the limitations of biopsy sampling in defining tumor heterogeneity. The aim of this study is to use CT texture analysis (CTTA) to identify imaging biomarkers of HER2+ mCRC able to predict lesion response to therapy. Methods: The dataset is composed of 39 extended RAS wild type patients with amplified HER2 mCRC enrolled in the HERACLES trial (NCT03225937) that received either a lapatinib+trastuzumab treatment (n = 23) or a pertuzumab+ trastuzumab-emtansine treatment (n = 16). All patients underwent CT examination every 8 weeks, until disease progression. All mCRC on baseline CT were semi-automatically segmented and quantitative features extracted: size, mean, percentiles, 28 texture features. A logistic regression model was created using: (i) the whole dataset of mCRC as training and test set and (ii) 100 randomly generated training sets (with 70% of responder (R+) mCRC and an equal number of non-responder (R-) mCRC), and 100 test sets including the remaining mCRC. A mCRC was classified as R+ if size decreased (-10%) or was stable (±10%); as R- if size increased (+10%), during subsequent CT scans. Results: A total of 199 metastases were included (75R+ and 124R-). The training set was composed of 53R+ and 53R- mCRC and the test set of 22R+ and 71R- mCRC. Using the whole dataset, the model reached an AUC = 0.82 (sensitivity = 84%, specificity = 70%), while it reached a mean AUC of 0.70 (sensitivity = 68%, specificity = 67%) within the 100 repetitions. Conclusions: CTTA might help in stratifying different behaviors of mCRC, opening the way for lesion-specific therapies, with conceivable cost and life savings. Further extended analysis is needed to better characterize and validate predictive value of these biomarkers.

(1) Introduction and Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the prognostic value, in terms of response and survival, of CT-based radiomics features for patients with HCC undergoing drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE). (2) Materials and Methods: Pre-treatment CT examinations of 50 patients with HCC, treated with DEB-TACE were manually segmented to obtain the tumor volumetric region of interest, extracting radiomics features with TexRAD. Response to therapy evaluation was performed basing on post-procedural CT examination compared to pre-procedural CT, using modified RECIST criteria for HCC. The prognostic value of texture analysis was evaluated, investigating the correlation between radiomics features, response to therapy and overall survival. Three models based on texture and clinical variables and a combination of them were finally built; (3) Results: Entropy, skewness, MPP and kurtosis showed a significant correlation with complete response (CR) to TACE (all p < 0.001). A predictive model to identify patients with a high and low probability of CR was evaluated with an ROC curve, with an AUC of 0.733 (p < 0.001). The three models built for survival prediction yielded an HR of 2.19 (95% CI: 2.03–2.35) using texture features, of 1.7 (95% CI: 1.54–1.9) using clinical data and of 4.61 (95% CI: 4.24–5.01) combining both radiomics and clinical data (all p < 0.0001). (4) Conclusion: Texture analysis based on pre-treatment CT examination is associated with response to therapy and survival in patients with HCC undergoing DEB-TACE, especially if combined with clinical data.

Background The need for quantitative assessment of interstitial lung involvement on thin-section computed tomography (CT) has arisen in interstitial lung diseases including connective tissue disease (CTD). Purpose To evaluate the capability of machine learning (ML)-based CT texture analysis for disease severity and treatment response assessments in comparison with qualitatively assessed thin-section CT for patients with CTD. Material and Methods A total of 149 patients with CTD-related ILD (CTD-ILD) underwent initial and follow-up CT scans (total 364 paired serial CT examinations), pulmonary function tests, and serum KL-6 level tests. Based on all follow-up examination results, all paired serial CT examinations were assessed as “Stable” (n = 188), “Worse” (n = 98) and “Improved” (n = 78). Next, quantitative index changes were determined by software, and qualitative disease severity scores were assessed by consensus of two radiologists. To evaluate differences in each quantitative index as well as in disease severity score between paired serial CT examinations, Tukey's honestly significant difference (HSD) test was performed among the three statuses. Stepwise regression analyses were performed to determine changes in each pulmonary functional parameter and all quantitative indexes between paired serial CT scans. Results Δ% normal lung, Δ% consolidation, Δ% ground glass opacity, Δ% reticulation, and Δdisease severity score showed significant differences among the three statuses ( P < 0.05). All differences in pulmonary functional parameters were significantly affected by Δ% normal lung, Δ% reticulation, and Δ% honeycomb (0.16 ≤r2 ≤0.42; P < 0.05). Conclusion ML-based CT texture analysis has better potential than qualitatively assessed thin-section CT for disease severity assessment and treatment response evaluation for CTD-ILD.

Background Hypovascular pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor is usually misdiagnosed as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Purpose To investigate the value of texture analysis in differentiating hypovascular pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images. Material and Methods Twenty-one patients with hypovascular pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and 63 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas were included in this study. All patients underwent preoperative unenhanced and dynamic contrast-enhanced CT examinations. Two radiologists independently and manually contoured the region of interest of each lesion using texture analysis software on pancreatic parenchymal and portal phase CT images. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify significant features to differentiate hypovascular pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to ascertain diagnostic ability. Results The following CT texture features were obtained to differentiate hypovascular pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas: RMS (root mean square) (odds ratio [OR] = 0.50, P<0.001), Quantile50 (OR = 1.83, P<0.001), and sumAverage (OR = 0.92, P=0.007) in parenchymal images and “contrast” in portal phase images (OR = 6.08, P<0.001). The areas under the curves were 0.76 for RMS (sensitivity = 0.75, specificity = 0.67), 0.73 for Quantile50 (sensitivity = 0.60, specificity = 0.77), 0.70 for sumAverage (sensitivity = 0.65, specificity = 0.82), 0.85 for the combined texture features (sensitivity = 0.77, specificity = 0.85). Conclusion CT texture analysis may be helpful to differentiate hypovascular pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas. The three combined texture features showed acceptable diagnostic performance.

ObjectiveTo establish a diagnostic model by combining imaging features with enhanced CT texture analysis to differentiate pancreatic serous cystadenomas (SCNs) from pancreatic mucinous cystadenomas (MCNs).Materials and MethodsFifty-seven and 43 patients with pathology-confirmed SCNs and MCNs, respectively, from one center were analyzed and divided into a training cohort (n = 72) and an internal validation cohort (n = 28). An external validation cohort (n = 28) from another center was allocated. Demographic and radiological information were collected. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and recursive feature elimination linear support vector machine (RFE_LinearSVC) were implemented to select significant features. Multivariable logistic regression algorithms were conducted for model construction. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the models were evaluated, and their prediction efficiency was quantified by the area under the curve (AUC), 95% confidence interval (95% CI), sensitivity and specificity.ResultsFollowing multivariable logistic regression analysis, the AUC was 0.932 and 0.887, the sensitivity was 87.5% and 90%, and the specificity was 82.4% and 84.6% with the training and validation cohorts, respectively, for the model combining radiological features and CT texture features. For the model based on radiological features alone, the AUC was 0.84 and 0.91, the sensitivity was 75% and 66.7%, and the specificity was 82.4% and 77% with the training and validation cohorts, respectively.ConclusionThis study showed that a logistic model combining radiological features and CT texture features is more effective in distinguishing SCNs from MCNs of the pancreas than a model based on radiological features alone.
