description Objectives To establish and validate a radiomics nomogram model for preoperative prediction of KIT exon 9 mutation status in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Materials and methods Eighty-seven patients with pathologically confirmed GISTs were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Imaging and clinicopathological data were collected and randomly assigned to the training set (n = 60) and test set (n = 27) at a ratio of 7:3. Based on contrast-enhanced CT (CE-CT) arterial and venous phase images, the region of interest (ROI) of the tumors were manually drawn layer by layer, and the radiomics features were extracted. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to test the consistency between observers. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression (LASSO) were used to further screen the features. The nomogram of integrated radiomics score (Rad-Score) and clinical risk factors (extra-gastric location and distant metastasis) was drawn on the basis of multivariate logistic regression. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) curve and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate the predictive efficiency of the nomogram, and the clinical benefits that the decision curve evaluation model may bring to patients. Results The selected radiomics features (arterial phase and venous phase features) were significantly correlated with the KIT exon 9 mutation status of GISTs. The AUC, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy in the radiomics model were 0.863, 85.7%, 80.4%, and 85.0% for the training group (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.750-0.938), and 0.883, 88.9%, 83.3%, and 81.5% for the test group (95% CI: 0.701-0.974), respectively. The AUC, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy in the nomogram model were 0.902 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.798-0.964), 85.7%, 86.9%, and 91.7% for the training group, and 0.907 (95% CI: 0.732-0.984), 77.8%, 94.4%, and 88.9% for the test group, respectively. The decision curve showed the clinical application value of the radiomic nomogram. Conclusion The radiomics nomogram model based on CE-CT can effectively predict the KIT exon 9 mutation status of GISTs and may be used for selective gene analysis in the future, which is of great significance for the accurate treatment of GISTs.
