Objective:
The purpose of the study was to investigate the role of CT radiomics for the preoperative distinction of intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinomas.
Materials And Methods:
A total of 187 consecutive patients with preoperative contrast CT examination and pathologically proven gastric adenocarcinoma were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into a training set (n = 150) and a test set (n = 37). Arterial phase (AP), portal phase (PP), and delay phase (DP) images were retrieved for analysis. A dedicated postprocessing software was used to segment the lesions and extract radiomics features. Random forest (RF) algorithm was applied to construct the classifier models. A nomogram was developed by incorporating multiphase radiomics scores. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the performance of the radiomics model and nomogram in both sets.
Results:
The radiomics model showed a favorable capability in the distinction of intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinomas. The areas under curves (AUCs) of the AP, PP, and DP radiomics models were 0.754 (95% CI: 0.676, 0.820), 0.815 (95% CI: 0.744, 0.874), and 0.764 (95% CI: 0.688, 0.829) in the training set, respectively, which were confirmed in the test set with AUCs of 0.742 (95% CI: 0.572, 0.872), 0.775 (95% CI: 0.608, 0.895), and 0.857 (95% CI: 0.703, 0.950), respectively. The nomogram yielded excellent performance for distinguishing intestinal-type adenocarcinomas in both sets, with AUCs of 0.928 (95%: 0.875, 0.964) and 0.904 (95% CI: 0.761, 0.976).
Conclusions:
The multiphase CT radiomics nomogram holds promise for the individual preoperative discrimination of intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma.
Key Points:
• CT radiomics has a potential role in the distinction of intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinomas. • Single-phase enhanced CT-based radiomics showed favorable capability in distinguishing intestinal-type tumors. • The nomogram which incorporates the multiphase radiomics scores could facilitate the individual prediction of intestinal-type lesions.
