This study aims to determine whether IVIM-DWI combined with texture features based on preoperative IVIM-DWI could be used to predict the Ki-67 PI, which is a widely used cell proliferation biomarker in CSCC.
A total of 70 patients were included. Among these patients, 16 patients were divided into the Ki-67 PI <50% group and 54 patients were divided into the Ki-67 PI ≥50% group based on the retrospective surgical evaluation. All patients were examined using a 3.0T MRI unit with one standard protocol, including an IVIM-DWI sequence with 10 values (0-1,500 sec/mm). The maximum level of CSCC with a value of 800 sec/mm was selected. The parameters (diffusion coefficient (), microvascular volume fraction (), and pseudodiffusion coefficient ( )) were calculated with the ADW 4.6 workstation, and the texture features based on IVIM-DWI were measured using GE AK quantitative texture analysis software. The texture features included the first order, GLCM, GLSZM, GLRLM, and wavelet transform features. The differences in IVIM-DWI parameters and texture features between the two groups were compared, and the ROC curve was performed for parameters with group differences, and in combination.
The value in the Ki-67 PI ≥50% group was lower than that in the Ki-67 PI <50% group ( < 0.05). A total of 1,050 texture features were obtained using AK software. Through univariate logistic regression, mPMR feature selection, and multivariate logistic regression, three texture features were obtained: wavelet_HHL_GLRLM_ LRHGLE, lbp_3D_k_ firstorder_IR, and wavelet_HLH_GLCM_IMC1. The AUC of the prediction model based on the three texture features was 0.816, and the combined value and three texture features was 0.834.
Texture analysis on IVIM-DWI and its parameters was helpful for predicting Ki-67 PI and may provide a noninvasive method to investigate important imaging biomarkers for CSCC.
本研究旨在确定 IVIM-DWI 联合基于术前 IVIM-DWI 的纹理特征是否可用于预测 Ki-67 PI,Ki-67 PI 是 CSCC 中广泛使用的细胞增殖生物标志物。
共纳入 70 例患者,其中 16 例根据回顾性手术评估分为 Ki-67 PI<50%组,54 例分为 Ki-67 PI≥50%组。所有患者均采用标准方案 3.0T MRI 仪进行检查,包括 10 个 值(0-1500 sec/mm)的 IVIM-DWI 序列。选择 CSCC 最大 值为 800 sec/mm。参数(扩散系数()、微血管容积分数()和假性扩散系数())由 ADW 4.6 工作站计算,基于 IVIM-DWI 的纹理特征由 GE AK 定量纹理分析软件测量。纹理特征包括一阶、GLCM、GLSZM、GLRLM 和小波变换特征。比较两组间 IVIM-DWI 参数和纹理特征的差异,对有组间差异的参数进行 ROC 曲线分析,并结合。
Ki-67 PI≥50%组的 值低于 Ki-67 PI<50%组(<0.05)。使用 AK 软件共获得 1050 个纹理特征。通过单变量逻辑回归、mPMR 特征选择和多变量逻辑回归,得到 3 个纹理特征:小波_HHL_GLRLM_LRHGLE、lbp_3D_k_firstorder_IR 和小波_HLH_GLCM_IMC1。基于这 3 个纹理特征的预测模型的 AUC 为 0.816, 值和 3 个纹理特征的联合 AUC 为 0.834。
IVIM-DWI 及其参数的纹理分析有助于预测 Ki-67 PI,可能为研究 CSCC 的重要成像生物标志物提供一种非侵入性方法。
