Abstract:
Objective: To explore the value of radiomics based on CT in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant polypoid lesions of the gallbladder (PLG). Methods: Totally 145 patients with PLG ≥1 cm who underwent abdominal enhanced CT examination and confirmed by pathology were collected. Among them, benign PLG was found in 82 cases, while malignant ones were detected in 63 cases. The patients were randomly divided into training set and test set. 3D ROIs of portal vein phase CT images were manually segmented using ITK-SNAP software. AK software was introduced to extract high-dimensional radiomics features. Then Lasso regression was used to reduce the dimension of the features. Logistic regression model was established and tested with R language software. Finally, the diagnostic performance of the model was evaluated with ROC. Results: Seven features related to benign and malignant identification of gallbladder polyps were obtained. The optimal threshold based on training set was 0.370. After the model was established, the threshold was used for test set with accuracy was 0.886, the specificity and sensitivity was 0.880 and 0.895, respectively, and AUC was 0.924. Conclusion: CT radiomics can effectively identify benign and malignant PLG with the maximum diameter ≥1 cm.
