目的 探讨联合碘基图影像组学模型、能谱CT多参数及临床危险因素构建的诺模图在预测上皮性卵巢癌(EOC)分型中的价值。 方法 回顾性分析122例(Ⅰ型46例,Ⅱ型76例)行能谱CT增强扫描并经病理证实为EOC的患者,结合血清糖类抗原125及人附睾蛋白4,建立临床模型;比较感兴趣区在静脉期图像下的碘浓度(IC)、标准化碘浓度(NIC)、能谱曲线斜率(λ)、有效原子序数(Zeff)及标准化有效原子序数(NZeff),通过Logstic回归分析筛选出有统计学意义的能谱参数,建立能谱CT参数模型;于动静脉期碘基图提取影像组学特征,按照7:3的比例建立训练组(n=85)和验证组(n=37),经过数据降维处理,筛选出有效的特征,建立影像组学模型;采用ROC曲线及曲线下面积(AUC)评价模型的诊断效能并利用模型构建诺模图,使用决策曲线分析及校正曲线评价诺模图的临床应用价值。 结果 两组患者血清糖类抗原125及人附睾蛋白4差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05),将两者联合建立临床模型,训练组AUC为0.797(95% CI: 0.700~0.895),验证组AUC为0.776(95% CI: 0.620~0.933);λ40~70 keV、λ40~100 keV、IC、NIC、Zeff、NZeff的差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05),二元Logstic回归分析提示NIC为独立影响因素(P=0.008),训练组AUC为0.813(95% CI: 0.723~0.902),验证组AUC为0.837(95% CI: 0.707~0.966);影像组学经降维后共筛选出18个影像组学特征,其中包括6个一阶特征、8个灰度特征、1个形态特征、3个小波特征。训练组AUC为0.825(95% CI: 0.733~0.917),验证组AUC为0.851(95% CI: 0.725~0.796)。联合模型的诊断效能最高,训练组AUC为0.935(95% CI: 0.885~0.986),验证组AUC为0.938(95% CI: 0.865~1.000),均高于单一模型。 结论 临床-能谱-影像组学诺模图在预测上皮性卵巢癌的分型方面具有潜在的价值。 Abstract:Objective To explore the value of nomogram combined with radiomics analysis from iodine overlay maps, spectral CT and clinical features in prediction of the type of epithelial ovarian cancer. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 122 patients (including 46 patients of typeⅠ and 76 patients of typeⅡ) with epithelial ovarian cancer pathologically confirmed underwent contrast enhanced spectral CT scan. The clinical characteristic model were constructed combined with serum CA125 and HE4. Iodine concentration (IC), normalized iodine concentration (NIC), slope of spectrum energy curve (λ), effective-Z (Zeff), normalized effective-Z (NZeff) of the region of interest under the venous phase image were compared. The significant energy spectrum parameters were selected by Logistic regression analysis, and then constructed the energy spectrum CT parameters model. Radiomics features were extracted from iodine overlay maps in the arteriovenous phase. Patients were randomized devided into training group (n=85) and test group (n=37) set in a ratio of 7:3. After dimensionality reduction of the data set, effective features were screened out and then construct the radiomics model. The diagnostic efficiency of the models were evaluated by using the ROC curve and the area under the curve (AUC). The clinical application value of normograph was evaluated by using the decision curve analysis and correction curve. Results Serum CA125 and HE4 were significantly different between two groups. A clinical model was established by combining the two methods, and the areas under the curve were respectively 0.797(95% CI: 0.700-0.895) for the training group 0.776(95% CI: 0.620-0.933) for the test group. λ40-70 keV, λ40-100 keV, IC, NIC, Zeff, NZeff were significantly different (P < 0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis suggested that NIC was an independent factor (P=0.008). The AUC of NIC was 0.813(95% CI: 0.723-0.902) for the training group and 0.837(95% CI: 0.707-0.966) for the test group. Eighteen features were screened by imaging omics, including six first-order features, eight gray-scale features, one shape features and three wavelet features. The AUC was 0.825(95% CI: 0.733-0.917) for the training group and 0.851(95% CI: 0.725-0.796) for the test group. The diagnostic efficiency of the combined model was higher than of the single model. The AUC was 0.935(95% CI: 0.885-0.986) for the training group and 0.938(95% CI: 0.865-1.000) for the test group. Conclusion Clinic-spectral CT-radiomics nomogram have potential value in predicting the typing of epithelial ovarian cancer. -
