ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Undiagnosed osteoporosis may lead to severe complications after spinal surgery. This study aimed to construct and validate a radiomic signature based on CT scans to screen for lumbar spine osteoporosis.METHODS:
Using a stratified random sample method, 386 vertebral bodies were randomly divided into a training set (n = 270) and a test set (n = 116). A total of 1040 radiomics features were automatically retracted from lumbar spine CT scans using the 3D slicer pyradiomics module, and a radiomic signature was created. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the Hounsfield and radiomics signature models were calculated. The AUCs of the two models were compared using the DeLong test. Their clinical usefulness was assessed using a decision curve analysis.RESULTS:
Twelve features were chosen to establish the radiomic signature. The AUCs of the radiomics signature and Hounsfield models were 0.96 and 0.88 in the training set and 0.92 and 0.84 in the test set, respectively. According to the DeLong test, the AUCs of the two models were significantly different (p < 0.05). The radiomics signature model indicated a higher overall net benefit than the Hounsfield model, as determined by decision curve analysis.CONCLUSIONS:
The CT-based radiomic signature can differentiate patients with/without osteoporosis prior to lumbar spinal surgery. Without additional medical cost and radiation exposure, the radiomics method may provide valuable information facilitating surgical decision-making. KEY POINTS ⢠The goal of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of a radiomics signature model based on routine preoperative lumbar spine CT scans in screening osteoporosis. ⢠The radiomics signature model demonstrated excellent prediction performance in both the training and test sets. ⢠This radiomics method may provide valuable information and facilitate surgical decision-making without additional medical costs and radiation exposure.Palavras-chave
