Differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic neoplasms through a radiomics-assisted system

Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) are a group of heterogeneous diseases with distinct prognosis. Existing differential diagnosis methods require invasive biopsy or prolonged monitoring. We sought to develop an inexpensive, non-invasive differential diagnosis system for PCNs based on radiomics featu...

description Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) are a group of heterogeneous diseases with distinct prognosis. Existing differential diagnosis methods require invasive biopsy or prolonged monitoring. We sought to develop an inexpensive, non-invasive differential diagnosis system for PCNs based on radiomics features and clinical characteristics for a higher total PCN screening rate. We retrospectively analyzed computed tomography images and clinical data from 129 patients with PCN, including 47 patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), 49 patients with serous cystadenomas (SCNs), and 33 patients with mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs). Six clinical characteristics and 944 radiomics features were tested, and nine features were finally selected for model construction using DXScore algorithm. A five-fold cross-validation algorithm and a test group were applied to verify the results. In the five-fold cross-validation section, the AUC value of our model was 0.8687, and the total accuracy rate was 74.23%, wherein the accuracy rates of IPMNs, SCNs, and MCNs were 74.26%, 78.37%, and 68.00%, respectively. In the test group, the AUC value was 0.8462 and the total accuracy rate was 73.61%. In conclusion, our research constructed an end-to-end powerful PCN differential diagnosis system based on radiomics method, which could assist decision-making in clinical practice.
