Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiology
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Soft tissue sarcomas are rare adult malignancies, comprising 1% of all cancers.
  • Diagnosis and treatment quality vary due to rarity, with lung metastasis detection being critical.
  • Current guidelines recommend X-rays for lung metastasis screening, but AI support is lacking for sarcomas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an AI-based system for sensitive and specific detection of lung metastases on X-rays in sarcoma patients.
  • To implement advanced AI diagnostic support for a rare tumor entity.

Main Methods:

  • A Python script utilizing a convolutional neural network was developed and trained on lung X-rays from sarcoma patients with metastases.
  • The dataset included 26 patients with available X-rays, CT scans, and biopsies, expanded to 600 images.
  • The AI system's performance was validated against lung CT scans for sensitivity and specificity.

Main Results:

  • The AI system achieved a precision of 71.2%, specificity of 90.5%, sensitivity of 94%, recall of 94%, and accuracy of 91.2%.
  • The system demonstrated effectiveness in detecting even small metastatic findings on lung X-rays.

Conclusions:

  • The developed AI script offers a reliable method for screening lung X-rays for metastases in sarcoma patients.
  • This AI tool addresses a critical need for improved diagnostic accuracy in rare tumor types like soft tissue sarcoma.
