Non-contrast and contrast enhanced computed tomography radiomics in preoperative discrimination of lung invasive and non-invasive adenocarcinoma

ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the value of radiomics based on non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) images in the preoperative discrimination between lung invasive adenocarcinomas (IAC) and non-invasive adenocarcinomas (non-IAC).MethodsWe enro...

description ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the value of radiomics based on non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) images in the preoperative discrimination between lung invasive adenocarcinomas (IAC) and non-invasive adenocarcinomas (non-IAC).MethodsWe enrolled 1,185 pulmonary nodules (478 non-IACs and 707 IACs) to build and validate radiomics models. An external testing set comprising 63 pulmonary nodules was collected to verify the generalization of the models. Radiomic features were extracted from both NCCT and CECT images. The predictive performance of radiomics models in the validation and external testing sets were evaluated and compared with radiologists’ evaluations. The predictive performances of the radiomics models were also compared between three subgroups in the validation set (Group 1: solid nodules, Group 2: part-solid nodules, and Group 3: pure ground-glass nodules).ResultsThe NCCT, CECT, and combined models showed good ability to discriminate between IAC and non-IAC [respective areas under the curve (AUCs): validation set = 0.91, 0.90, and 0.91; Group 1 = 0.82, 0.79, and 0.81; Group 2 = 0.93, 0.92, and 0.93; and Group 3 = 0.90, 0.90, and 0.89]. In the external testing set, the AUC of the three models were 0.89, 0.91, and 0.89, respectively. The accuracies of these three models were comparable to those of the senior radiologist and better those that of the junior radiologist.ConclusionRadiomic models based on CT images showed good predictive performance in discriminating between lung IAC and non-IAC, especially in part solid nodule group. However, radiomics based on CECT images provided no additional value compared to NCCT images.
