Background:
The qualitative diagnosis of lipid-poor adrenal adenomas and metastases presents challenges, yet there is a significant difference in their treatment principles and prognosis.
Materials And Methods:
A total of 390 patients from two hospitals were divided into training, internal validation, and external test sets. Lesion segmentation was performed automatically using the large segmentation model Medical SAM. The 2.5D deep learning model was constructed using the DenseNet-121 architecture. Habitat-radiomics employed the K-means clustering algorithm; both habitat-radiomics and conventional radiomics features were extracted from lesion regions using the PyRadiomics toolkit, with XGBoost machine learning models subsequently developed. The fusion model incorporated the 2.5D deep learning model scores, habitat-radiomics features, and clinical features.
Results:
The fusion model demonstrated the best overall performance, achieving areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.983, 0.913, and 0.886 in the training, internal validation, and external test sets, respectively. The standalone 2.5D deep learning and habitat-radiomics models also showed good predictive performance, with AUCs ranging from 0.847-0.980, 0.805-0.967, respectively.
Conclusion:
The fusion model holds potential for noninvasively differentiating lipid-poor adrenal adenomas from metastases and may provide a valuable decision-making basis for subsequent precision treatment.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
