ABSTRACT
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES:
To explore both an intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) model based on habitat analysis and a deep learning (DL) model based on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CEMRI) and validate its efficiency for predicting microvascular invasion (MVI) and pathological differentiation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).METHODS:
CEMRI images were retrospectively obtained from 277 HCCs in 265 patients. Habitat analysis and DL features were extracted from the CEMRI images and selected with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator approach to develop ITH and DL models, respectively, and these robust features were then integrated to design a fusion model for predicting MVI and poorly differentiated HCC (pHCC). The predictive value of the three models was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).RESULTS:
The training and validation sets comprised 221 HCCs and 56 HCCs, respectively. The ITH and DL models presented AUC values of (0.90 vs. 0.87) for predicting MVI in the training set, with AUC values of 0.86 and 0.83 in the validation set. The AUC values of the ITH model to predict pHCC were 0.90 and 0.86 in the two sets, respectively; they were 0.84 and 0.80 for the DL model. The fusion model yielded the best performance for predicting MVI and pHCC in the training set (AUC=0.95, 0.90) and in the validation set (AUC=0.89, 0.87), respectively.CONCLUSION:
A fusion model integrating ITH and DL features derived from CEMRI images can serve as an excellent imaging biomarker for predicting aggressive characteristics in HCC.
