Papillary-Muscle-Derived Radiomic Features for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy versus Hypertensive Heart Disease Classification.

: This study aimed to assess the value of radiomic features derived from the myocardium (MYO) and papillary muscle (PM) for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) detection and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) versus hypertensive heart disease (HHD) differentiation. : There were 345 subjects who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations that were analyzed. After quality control and manual segmentation, the 3D radiomic features were extracted from the MYO and PM. The data were randomly split into training (70%) and testing (30%) datasets. Feature selection was performed on the training dataset. Five machine learning models were evaluated using the MYO, PM, and MYO+PM features in the detection and differentiation tasks. The optimal differentiation model was further evaluated using CMR parameters and combined features. : Six features were selected for the MYO, PM, and MYO+PM groups. The support vector machine models performed best in both the detection and differentiation tasks. For LVH detection, the highest area under the curve (AUC) was 0.966 in the MYO group. For HCM vs. HHD differentiation, the best AUC was 0.935 in the MYO+PM group. Comparing the radiomics models to the CMR parameter models for the differentiation tasks, the radiomics models achieved significantly improved the performance ( = 0.002). : The radiomics model with the MYO+PM features showed similar performance to the models developed from the MYO features in the detection task, but outperformed the models developed from the MYO or PM features in the differentiation task. In addition, the radiomic models performed better than the CMR parameters' models.
