Radiomic analysis of magnetic resonance fingerprinting in adult brain tumors

Radiomic analysis of magnetic resonance fingerprinting in adult brain tumors PurposeThis is a radiomics study investigating the ability of texture analysis of MRF maps to improve differentiation between intra-axial adult brain tumors and to predict survival in the glioblastoma cohort.MethodsMagnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) acquisition was performed on 31 patients across 3 groups: 17 glioblastomas, 6 low-grade gliomas, and 8 metastases. Using regions of interest for the solid tumor and peritumoral white matter on T1 and T2 maps, second-order texture features were calculated from gray-level co-occurrence matrices and gray-level run length matrices. Selected features were compared across the three tumor groups using Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed for each feature. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis with log rank tests.ResultsLow-grade gliomas and glioblastomas had significantly higher run percentage, run entropy, and information measure of correlation 1 on T1 than metastases (p < 0.017). The best separation of all three tumor types was seen utilizing inverse difference normalized and homogeneity values for peritumoral white matter in both T1 and T2 maps (p < 0.017). In solid tumor T2 maps, lower values in entropy and higher values of maximum probability and high-gray run emphasis were associated with longer survival in glioblastoma patients (p < 0.05). Several texture features were associated with longer survival in glioblastoma patients on peritumoral white matter T1 maps (p < 0.05).ConclusionTexture analysis of MRF-derived maps can improve our ability to differentiate common adult brain tumors by characterizing tumor heterogeneity, and may have a role in predicting outcomes in patients with glioblastoma. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Springer Journals
