Background:
Non-invasive imaging methods are still lacking for evaluating bone changes in chronic kidney diseases (CKD).
Purpose:
To investigate the feasibility of chest CT radiomics in evaluating bone changes caused by CKD.
Material And Methods:
In total, 75 patients with stage 1 CKD (CKD1) and 75 with stage 5 CKD (CKD5) were assessed using the chest CT radiomics method. Radiomics features of bone were obtained using 3D Slicer software and were then compared between CKD1 and CKD5 cases. The methods of maximum correlation minimum redundancy (mRMR) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) were used to establish a prediction model to determine CKD. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the performance of the model.
Results:
Cases of CKD1 and CKD5 differed in 40 radiomics features (P <0.05). Using the mRMR and LASSO methods, five features were finally selected to establish a predication model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the model in the determination of CKD1 and CKD5 was 0.903 and 0.854, respectively, for the training and validation cohorts.
Conclusion:
Chest CT radiomics is feasible in evaluating bone changes caused by CKD.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
01:10Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
