Abstract

Abstract Background Histopathological analysis is the cornerstone in bladder cancer (BCa) diagnosis. These analysis suffer from a moderate observer agreement in the staging of bladder cancer. Three-dimensional reconstructions have the potential to support the pathologists in visualizing spatial arrangements of structures, which may improve the interpretation of specimen. The aim of this study is to present three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions of histology images. Methods En-bloc specimens of transurethral bladder tumour resections were formalin fixed and paraffin embedded. Specimens were cut into sections of 4 μm and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E). With a Phillips IntelliSite UltraFast scanner, glass slides were digitized at 20x magnification. The digital images were aligned by performing rigid and affine image alignment. The tumour and the muscularis propria (MP) were manually delineated to create 3D segmentations. In conjunction with a 3D display, the results were visualized with the Vesalius3D interactive visualization application for a 3D workstation. Results En-bloc resection was performed in 21 BCa patients. Per case, 26–30 sections were included for the reconstruction into a 3D volume. Five cases were excluded due to export problems, size of the dataset or condition of the tissue block. Qualitative evaluation suggested an accurate registration for 13 out of 16 cases. The segmentations allowed full 3D visualization and evaluation of the spatial relationship of the BCa tumour and the MP. Conclusion Digital scanning of en-bloc resected specimens allows a full-fledged 3D reconstruction and analysis and has a potential role to support pathologists in the staging of BCa.

Abstract

BackgroundCT perfusion (CTP) is used to estimate the extent of ischemic core and penumbra in patients with acute ischemic stroke. CTP reliability, however, is limited. This study aims to identify regions misclassified as ischemic core on CTP, using infarct on follow-up noncontrast CT. We aim to assess differences in volumetric and perfusion characteristics in these regions compared to areas that ended up as infarct on follow-up.Materials and methodsThis study included 35 patients with >100 mm brain coverage CTP. CTP processing was performed using Philips software (IntelliSpace 7.0). Final infarct was automatically segmented on follow-up noncontrast CT and used as reference. CTP and follow-up noncontrast CT image data were registered. This allowed classification of ischemic lesion agreement (core on CTP: rMTT≥145%, aCBVResultsMedian total CTP ischemic core volume was 49.7ml (IQR:29.9ml-132ml); median misclassified ischemic core volume was 30.4ml (IQR:20.9ml-77.0ml). Median FDR between patients was 62% (IQR:49%-80%). Median relative mean transit time was 243% (IQR:198%-289%) and 342% (IQR:249%-432%) for misclassified and ischemic lesion agreement regions, respectively. Median absolute cerebral blood volume was 1.59 (IQR:1.43-1.79) ml/100g (PConclusionFor all patients a considerable region of the CTP ischemic core is misclassified. CTP parameters significantly differed between ischemic lesion agreement and misclassified CTP ischemic core, suggesting that CTP analysis may benefit from revisions.

Abstract

Background: Non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is characterized by frequent recurrence of the disease, which is difficult to predict. Objective: To combine digital histopathology slides with clinical data to predict 1- and 5-yr recurrence-free survival of NMIBC patients using deep learning. Design, setting, and participants: Data of patients undergoing a transurethral resection of a bladder tumor between 2000 and 2018 at a Dutch academic medical center were selected. Corresponding histological slides were digitized. A three-step approach was used to predict 1- and 5-yr recurrence-free survival. First, a segmentation network was used to detect the urothelium on the digital histopathology slides. Second, a selection network was trained for the selection of patches associated with recurrence. Third, a classification network, combining the information of the selection network with clinical data, was trained to give the probability of 1- and 5-yr recurrence-free survival. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: The accuracy of the deep learning–based model was compared with a multivariable logistic regression model using clinical data only. Results and limitations: In the 1- and 5-yr follow-up cohorts, 359 and 281 patients were included with recurrence rates of 27% and 63%, respectively. The areas under the curve (AUCs) of the model combining digital histopathology slide data with clinical data were 0.62 and 0.76 for 1- and 5-yr recurrence predictions, respectively, which were higher than those of the model using digital histopathology slide data only (AUCs of 0.56 and 0.72, respectively) and the multivariable logistic regression (AUCs of 0.58 and 0.57, respectively). Conclusions: In our population, the deep learning–based model combining digital histopathology slides and clinical data enhances the prediction of recurrence (within 5 yr) compared with models using clinical data or image data only. Patient summary: By combining histopathology images and patient record data using deep learning, the prediction of recurrence in bladder cancer patients is enhanced. The proposed deep learning method showed promising results for the 5-yr prediction of recurrence when combining clinical data and digital histopathology images. Although not yet validated for clinical practice, this deep learning approach has the potential to improve recurrence prediction.

Abstract

Background: Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) is a serious complication after endovascular treatment for ischemic stroke. We aimed to identify determinants of its occurrence and location. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from the Dutch MR CLEAN trial (Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands) and MR CLEAN registry. We included adult patients with a large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation who underwent endovascular treatment within 6.5 hours of stroke onset. We used univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses to identify determinants of overall sICH occurrence, sICH within infarcted brain tissue, and sICH outside infarcted brain tissue. Results: SICH occurred in 203 (6%) of 3313 included patients and was located within infarcted brain tissue in 50 (25%), outside infarcted brain tissue in 23 (11%), and both within and outside infarcted brain tissue in 116 (57%) patients. In 14 patients (7%), data on location were missing. Prior antiplatelet use, baseline systolic blood pressure, baseline plasma glucose levels, post-endovascular treatment modified treatment in cerebral ischemia score, and duration of procedure were associated with all outcome parameters. In addition, determinants of sICH within infarcted brain tissue included history of myocardial infarction (adjusted odds ratio, 1.65 [95% CI, 1.06–2.56]) and poor collateral score (adjusted odds ratio, 1.42 [95% CI, 1.02–1.95]), whereas determinants of sICH outside infarcted brain tissue included level of occlusion on computed tomography angiography (internal carotid artery or internal carotid artery terminus compared with M1: adjusted odds ratio, 1.79 [95% CI, 1.16–2.78]). Conclusions: Several factors, some potentially modifiable, are associated with sICH occurrence. Further studies should investigate whether modification of baseline systolic blood pressure or plasma glucose level could reduce the risk of sICH. In addition, determinants differ per location of sICH, supporting the hypothesis of varying underlying mechanisms. Registration: URL: https://www.isrctn.com/ ; Unique identifier: ISRCTN10888758.

Abstract

Purpose: Urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) is the most common urinary cancer. White-light cystoscopy (WLC) forms the corner stone for the diagnosis of UCB. However, histopathological assessment is required for adjuvant treatment selection. Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) enables visualization of the microarchitecture of bladder lesions during WLC, which allows for real-time tissue differentiation and grading of UCB. To improve the diagnostic process of UCB, computer-aided classification of pCLE videos of in vivo bladder lesions were evaluated in this study. Materials and Methods: We implemented preprocessing methods to optimize contrast and to reduce striping artifacts in each individual pCLE frame. Subsequently, a semiautomatic frame selection was performed. The selected frames were used to train a feature extractor based on pretrained ImageNet networks. A recurrent neural network, in specific long short-term memory (LSTM), was used to predict the grade of bladder lesions. Differentiation of lesions was performed at two levels, namely (i) healthy and benign vs malignant tissue and (ii) low-grade vs high-grade papillary UCB. A total of 53 patients with 72 lesions were included in this study, resulting in ∼140,000 pCLE frames. Results: The semiautomated frame selection reduced the number of frames to ∼66,500 informative frames. The accuracy for differentiation of (i) healthy and benign vs malignant urothelium was 79% and (ii) high-grade and low-grade papillary UCB was 82%. Conclusions: A feature extractor in combination with LSTM results in proper stratification of pCLE videos of in vivo bladder lesions.

Abstract

Objective: To demonstrate the safety and feasibility of clinical in vivo needle-based optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of the prostate. Materials and Methods: Two patients with prostate cancer underwent each two percutaneous in vivo needle-based OCT measurements before transperineal template mapping biopsy. The OCT probe was introduced via a needle and positioned under ultrasound guidance. To test the safety, adverse events were recorded during and after the procedure. To test the feasibility, OCT and US images were studied during and after the procedure. Corresponding regions for OCT and biopsy were determined. A uropathologist evaluated and annotated the histopathology. Three experts assessed all the corresponding OCT images. The OCT and biopsy conclusions for the corresponding regions were compared. Results: No adverse events during and following the, in total four, in vivo needle-based OCT measurements were reported. The OCT measurements showed images of prostatic tissue with a penetration depth of ~1.5 mm. The histological-proven tissue types, which were also found in the overlapping OCT images, were benign glands, stroma, glandular atrophy, and adenocarcinoma (Gleason pattern 3). Conclusions: Clinical in vivo needle-based OCT of the prostate is feasible with no adverse events during measurements. OCT images displayed detailed prostatic tissue with a imaging depth up to ~1.5 mm. We could co-register four histological-proven tissue types with OCT images. The feasibility of in vivo OCT in the prostate opens the pathway to the next phase of needle-based OCT studies in the prostate. Lasers Surg. Med. 51:390–398, 2019. © 2019 The Authors.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: EORTC, CUETO and EAU are the most commonly used risk stratification models for recurrence and progression in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). OBJECTIVE: We assessed the predictive value of the EORTC, CUETO and EAU risk group stratification methods for our population and explore options to improve the predictive value using Cox Proportional Hazards (CPH), Boosted Cox regression and a non-linear Random Survival Forest (RSF) model. MATERIALS: Our retrospective database included of 452 NMIBC patients who underwent a transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) between 2000 and 2018 in our hospital. The cumulative incidence of recurrence was calculated at one- and five-years for all risk stratification methods. A customized CPH, Boosted Cox and RSF models were trained in order to predict recurrence, and the performances were compared. RESULTS: Risk stratification using the EORTC, CUETO and EAU showed small differences in recurrence probabilities between the risk groups as determined by the risk stratification. The concordance indices (C-index) were low and ranged between 0.51 and 0.57. The predictive accuracies of CPH, Boosted Cox and RSF models were also moderate, with C-indices ranging from 0.61 to 0.64. CONCLUSIONS: Prediction of recurrence in patients with NMIBC based on patient characteristics is difficult. Alternative (non-linear) approaches have the potential to improve the predictive value. Nonetheless, the currently used characteristics are unable to properly stratify between the recurrence risks of patients.

Abstract

Due to the growing field of digital pathology, more and more digital histology slides are becoming available. This improves the accessibility, allows teleconsultations from specialized pathologists, improves education, and might give urologist the possibility to review the slides in patient management systems. Moreover, by stacking multiple two-dimensional (2D) digital slides, three-dimensional volumes can be created, allowing improved insight in the growth pattern of a tumor. With the addition of computer-aided diagnosis systems, pathologist can be guided to regions of interest, potentially reducing the workload and interobserver variation. Digital (3D) pathology has the potential to improve dialog between the pathologist and urologist, and, therefore, results in a better treatment selection for urologic patients.

Abstract

Background: Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a precursor lesion of esophageal adenocarcinoma and may progress from non-dysplastic through low-grade dysplasia (LGD) to high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and cancer. Grading BE is of crucial prognostic value and is currently based on the subjective evaluation of biopsies. This study aims to investigate the potential of machine learning (ML) using spatially resolved molecular data from mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) and histological data from microscopic hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained imaging for computer-aided diagnosis and prognosis of BE. Methods: Biopsies from 57 patients were considered, divided into non-dysplastic (n = 15), LGD non-progressive (n = 14), LGD progressive (n = 14), and HGD (n = 14). MSI experiments were conducted at 50 x 50 mu m spatial resolution per pixel corresponding to a tile size of 96x96 pixels in the co-registered H&E images, making a total of 144,823 tiles for the whole dataset. Results: ML models were trained to distinguish epithelial tissue from stroma with area-under-the-curve (AUC) values of 0.89 (MSI) and 0.95 (H&E)) and dysplastic grade (AUC of 0.97 (MSI) and 0.85 (H&E)) on a tile level, and low-grade progressors from non-progressors on a patient level (accuracies of 0.72 (MSI) and 0.48 (H&E)). Conclusions: In summary, while the H&E-based classifier was best at distinguishing tissue types, the MSI-based model was more accurate at distinguishing dysplastic grades and patients at progression risk, which demonstrates the complementarity of both approaches. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD028949.

Abstract

Histopathologic grading of prostate cancer using Gleason patterns (GPs) is subject to a large inter-observer variability, which may result in suboptimal treatment of patients. With the introduction of digitization and whole-slide images of prostate biopsies, computer-aided grading becomes feasible. Computer-aided grading has the potential to improve histopathological grading and treatment selection for prostate cancer. Automated detection of GPs and determination of the grade groups (GG) using a convolutional neural network. In total, 96 prostate biopsies from 38 patients are annotated on pixel-level. Automated detection of GP 3 and GP ≥ 4 in digitized prostate biopsies is performed by re-training the Inception-v3 convolutional neural network (CNN). The outcome of the CNN is subsequently converted into probability maps of GP ≥ 3 and GP ≥ 4, and the GG of the whole biopsy is obtained according to these probability maps. Differentiation between non-atypical and malignant (GP ≥ 3) areas resulted in an accuracy of 92% with a sensitivity and specificity of 90 and 93%, respectively. The differentiation between GP ≥ 4 and GP ≤ 3 was accurate for 90%, with a sensitivity and specificity of 77 and 94%, respectively. Concordance of our automated GG determination method with a genitourinary pathologist was obtained in 65% (κ = 0.70), indicating substantial agreement. A CNN allows for accurate differentiation between non-atypical and malignant areas as defined by GPs, leading to a substantial agreement with the pathologist in defining the GG.

Abstract

Background Histopathological analysis is the cornerstone in bladder cancer (BCa) diagnosis. These analysis suffer from a moderate observer agreement in the staging of bladder cancer. Three-dimensional reconstructions have the potential to support the pathologists in visualizing spatial arrangements of structures, which may improve the interpretation of specimen. The aim of this study is to present three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions of histology images. Methods En-bloc specimens of transurethral bladder tumour resections were formalin fixed and paraffin embedded. Specimens were cut into sections of 4 μm and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E). With a Phillips IntelliSite UltraFast scanner, glass slides were digitized at 20x magnification. The digital images were aligned by performing rigid and affine image alignment. The tumour and the muscularis propria (MP) were manually delineated to create 3D segmentations. In conjunction with a 3D display, the results were visualized with the Vesalius3D interactive visualization application for a 3D workstation. Results En-bloc resection was performed in 21 BCa patients. Per case, 26–30 sections were included for the reconstruction into a 3D volume. Five cases were excluded due to export problems, size of the dataset or condition of the tissue block. Qualitative evaluation suggested an accurate registration for 13 out of 16 cases. The segmentations allowed full 3D visualization and evaluation of the spatial relationship of the BCa tumour and the MP. Conclusion Digital scanning of en-bloc resected specimens allows a full-fledged 3D reconstruction and analysis and has a potential role to support pathologists in the staging of BCa.

Abstract

Background CT perfusion (CTP) and diffusion or perfusion MRI might assist patient selection for endovascular thrombectomy. We aimed to establish whether imaging assessments of irreversibly injured ischaemic core and potentially salvageable penumbra volumes were associated with functional outcome and whether they interacted with the treatment effect of endovascular thrombectomy on functional outcome.Methods In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the HERMES collaboration pooled patient-level data from all randomised controlled trials that compared endovascular thrombectomy (predominantly using stent retrievers) with standard medical therapy in patients with anterior circulation ischaemic stroke, published in PubMed from Jan 1,2010, to May 31, 2017. The primary endpoint was functional outcome, assessed by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days after stroke. Ischaemic core was estimated, before treatment with either endovascular thrombectomy or standard medical therapy, by CTP as relative cerebral blood flow less than 30% of normal brain blood flow or by MRI as an apparent diffusion coefficient less than 620 mu m(2)/s. Critically hypoperfused tissue was estimated as the volume of tissue with a CTP time to maximum longer than 6 s. Mismatch volume (ie, the estimated penumbral volume) was calculated as critically hypoperfused tissue volume minus ischaemic core volume. The association of ischaemic core and penumbral volumes with 90-day mRS score was analysed with multivariable logistic regression (functional independence, defined as mRS score 0-2) and ordinal logistic regression (functional improvement by at least one mRS category) in all patients and in a subset of those with more than 50% endovascular reperfusion, adjusted for baseline prognostic variables. The meta-analysis was prospectively designed by the HERMES executive committee, but not registered.Findings We identified seven studies with 1764 patients, all of which were included in the meta-analysis. CTP was available and assessable for 591 (34%) patients and diffusion MRI for 309 (18%) patients. Functional independence was worse in patients who had CTP versus those who had diffusion MRI, after adjustment for ischaemic core volume (odds ratio [OR] 0.47 [95% CI 0.30-0.72], p=0.0007), so the imaging modalities were not pooled. Increasing ischaemic core volume was associated with reduced likelihood of functional independence (CTP OR 0.77 [0.69-0.86] per 10 mL, p(interaction)=0.29; diffusion MRI OR 0.87 [0.81-0.94] per 10 mL, p(interaction)=0.94). Mismatch volume, examined only in the CTP group because of the small numbers of patients who had perfusion MRI, was not associated with either functional independence or functional improvement. In patients with CTP with more than 50% endovascular reperfusion (n=186), age, ischaemic core volume, and imaging-to-reperfusion time were independently associated with functional improvement. Risk of bias between studies was generally low.Interpretation Estimated ischaemic core volume was independently associated with functional independence and functional improvement but did not modify the treatment benefit of endovascular thrombectomy over standard medical therapy for improved functional outcome. Combining ischaemic core volume with age and expected imagingto-reperfusion time will improve assessment of prognosis and might inform endovascular thrombectomy treatment decisions.

Abstract

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has emerged as a powerful tool in biomedical research to reveal the localization of a broad scale of compounds ranging from metabolites to proteins in diseased tissues, such as malignant tumors. MSI is most commonly used for the two-dimensional imaging of tissues from multiple patients or for the three-dimensional (3D) imaging of tissue from a single patient. These applications are potentially introducing a sampling bias on a sample or patient level, respectively. The aim of this study is therefore to investigate the consequences of sampling bias on sample representativeness and on the precision of biomarker discovery for histological grading of human bladder cancers by MSI. We therefore submitted formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from 14 bladder cancer patients with varying histological grades to 3D analysis by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) MSI. We found that, after removing 20% of the data based on novel outlier detection routines for 3D-MSI data based on the evaluation of digestion efficacy and z-directed regression, on average 33% of a sample has to be measured in order to obtain sufficient coverage of the existing biological variance within a tissue sample.Significance: In this study, 3D MALDI-MSI is applied for the first time on a cohort of bladder cancer patients using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue of bladder cancer resections. This work portrays the reproducibility that can be achieved when employing an optimized sample preparation and subsequent data evaluation approach. Our data shows the influence of sampling bias on the variability of the results, especially for a small patient cohort. Furthermore, the presented data analysis workflow can be used by others as a 3D FFPE data-analysis pipeline working on multi-patient 3D-MSI studies.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: General anaesthesia (GA) during endovascular thrombectomy has been associated with worse patient outcomes in observational studies compared with patients treated without GA. We assessed functional outcome in ischaemic stroke patients with large vessel anterior circulation occlusion undergoing endovascular thrombectomy under GA, versus thrombectomy not under GA (with or without sedation) versus standard care (ie, no thrombectomy), stratified by the use of GA versus standard care.METHODS: For this meta-analysis, patient-level data were pooled from all patients included in randomised trials in PuMed published between Jan 1, 2010, and May 31, 2017, that compared endovascular thrombectomy predominantly done with stent retrievers with standard care in anterior circulation ischaemic stroke patients (HERMES Collaboration). The primary outcome was functional outcome assessed by ordinal analysis of the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 90 days in the GA and non-GA subgroups of patients treated with endovascular therapy versus those patients treated with standard care, adjusted for baseline prognostic variables. To account for between-trial variance we used mixed-effects modelling with a random effect for trials incorporated in all models. Bias was assessed using the Cochrane method. The meta-analysis was prospectively designed, but not registered.FINDINGS: Seven trials were identified by our search; of 1764 patients included in these trials, 871 were allocated to endovascular thrombectomy and 893 were assigned standard care. After exclusion of 74 patients (72 did not undergo the procedure and two had missing data on anaesthetic strategy), 236 (30%) of 797 patients who had endovascular procedures were treated under GA. At baseline, patients receiving GA were younger and had a shorter delay between stroke onset and randomisation but they had similar pre-treatment clinical severity compared with patients who did not have GA. Endovascular thrombectomy improved functional outcome at 3 months both in patients who had GA (adjusted common odds ratio (cOR) 1·52, 95% CI 1·09-2·11, p=0·014) and in those who did not have GA (adjusted cOR 2·33, 95% CI 1·75-3·10, pINTERPRETATION: Worse outcomes after endovascular thrombectomy were associated with GA, after adjustment for baseline prognostic variables. These data support avoidance of GA whenever possible. The procedure did, however, remain effective versus standard care in patients treated under GA, indicating that treatment should not be withheld in those who require anaesthesia for medical reasons.FUNDING: Medtronic.

Abstract

Background and Purpose— Preclinical studies showed that thrombi can be permeable and may, therefore, allow for residual blood flow in occluded arteries of patients having acute ischemic stroke. This perviousness may increase tissue oxygenation, improve thrombus dissolution, and augment intra-arterial treatment success. We hypothesize that the combination of computed tomographic angiography and noncontrast computed tomography imaging allows measurement of contrast agent penetrating a permeable thrombus, and it is associated with improved outcome. Methods— Thrombus and contralateral artery attenuations in noncontrast computed tomography and computed tomographic angiography images were measured in 184 Multicenter Randomized Clinical trial of Endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke in the Netherlands (MR CLEAN) patients with thin-slice images. Two quantitative estimators of the thrombus permeability were introduced: computed tomographic angiography attenuation increase (Δ) and thrombus void fraction (ε). Patients were dichotomized as having a pervious or impervious thrombus and associated with outcome, recanalization, and final infarct volume. Results— Patients with Δ≥10.9 HU (n=81 [44%]) and ε≥6.5% (n=77 [42%]) were classified as having a pervious thrombus. These patients were 3.2 (95% confidence interval, 1.7–6.4) times more likely to have a favorable outcome, and 2.5 (95% confidence interval, 1.3–4.8) times more likely to recanalyze, for Δ based classification, and similarly for ε. These odds ratios were independent from intravenous or intra-arterial treatment. Final infarct volume was negatively correlated with both perviousness estimates (correlation coefficient, −0.39 for Δ and −0.40 for ε). Conclusions— This study shows that simultaneous measurement of thrombus attenuation in noncontrast computed tomography and computed tomographic angiography allows for quantification of thrombus perviousness. Thrombus perviousness is strongly associated with improved functional outcome, smaller final infarct volume, and higher recanalization rate.

Abstract

Contains fulltext : 152013.PDF (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) BACKGROUND: CT perfusion (CTP) is used to estimate the extent of ischemic core and penumbra in patients with acute ischemic stroke. CTP reliability, however, is limited. This study aims to identify regions misclassified as ischemic core on CTP, using infarct on follow-up noncontrast CT. We aim to assess differences in volumetric and perfusion characteristics in these regions compared to areas that ended up as infarct on follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 35 patients with >100 mm brain coverage CTP. CTP processing was performed using Philips software (IntelliSpace 7.0). Final infarct was automatically segmented on follow-up noncontrast CT and used as reference. CTP and follow-up noncontrast CT image data were registered. This allowed classification of ischemic lesion agreement (core on CTP: rMTT>/=145%, aCBV
