Background:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is predominant in the therapeutic management of cancer patients, unfortunately, patients have to wait a long time to get an appointment for examination. Therefore, new MRI devices include deep-learning (DL) solutions to save acquisition time. However, the impact of these algorithms on intensity and texture parameters has been poorly studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of resampling and denoising DL models on radiomics.
Methods:
Resampling and denoising DL model was developed on 14,243 T1 brain images from 1.5T-MRI. Radiomics were extracted from 40 brain metastases from 11 patients (2049 images). A total of 104 texture features of DL images were compared to original images with paired t-test, Pearson correlation and concordance-correlation-coefficient (CCC).
Results:
When two times shorter image acquisition shows strong disparities with the originals concerning the radiomics, with significant differences and loss of correlation of 79.81% and 48.08%, respectively. Interestingly, DL models restore textures with 46.15% of unstable parameters and 25.96% of low CCC and without difference for the first-order intensity parameters.
Conclusions:
Resampling and denoising DL models reconstruct low resolution and noised MRI images acquired quickly into high quality images. While fast MRI acquisition loses most of the radiomic features, DL models restore these parameters.
