Study on the diagnostic value of radiomics model based on dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging for non-mass enhancement lesions of breast
Objective To explore the value of radiomics model combined with machine learning of early dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI)in distinguishing benign and malignant breast non-mass enhancement(NME)lesions.Methods 242 patients with NME lesions,who underwent breast DCE-MRI examination and obtained pathological re-sults,were selected anddivided into training set of 163 lesions,testing set of 55 lesions,and external validation set of 24 lesions.Based on feature selection of early DCE-MRI,radiomics model was to established by support vector machine.Two radiologists in-dependently evaluated MRI features,established a traditional diagnostic model,and predicted the benign and malignant lesions.Test sets and external validation sets were used for testing and external validation.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the radiomics model and radiologists.Results The differentiation of be-nign and malignant breast NME lesions using radiomics models reached a diagnostic level comparable to that of senior radiolo-gists[AUC=0.82,95%confidence interval(CI)0.66,0.89][(AUC=0.82,95%CI 0.67,0.90);P=0.30],both of which were superior to the evaluation results of junior radiologists(Z=2.63,P=0.01;Z=2.41,P=0.02),Meanwhile,external validation sets were used to further validate the predictive performance of the model.Conclusion Based on the early DCE-MRI radiomics model,it can effectively distinguish between benign and malignant NME lesions,which is comparable to the diagnostic level of senior radiologists and superior to the diagnostic level of junior radiologists.This can assist junior radiologists in making better di-agnoses.
