Abstract
- Purpose: According to the World Health Organization classification for tumors of the central nervous system, mutation status of the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genes has become a major diagnostic discriminator for gliomas. Therefore, imaging-based prediction of IDH mutation status is of high interest for individual patient management. We compared and evaluated the diagnostic value of radiomics derived from dual positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data to predict the IDH mutation status non-invasively.<br />Methods: Eighty-seven glioma patients at initial diagnosis who underwent PET targeting the translocator protein (TSPO) using [ <superscript>18</superscript> F]GE-180, dynamic amino acid PET using [ <superscript>18</superscript> F]FET, and T1-/T2-weighted MRI scans were examined. In addition to calculating tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) images for all modalities, parametric images quantifying dynamic [ <superscript>18</superscript> F]FET PET information were generated. Radiomic features were extracted from TBR and parametric images. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was employed to assess the performance of logistic regression (LR) classifiers. To report robust estimates, nested cross-validation with five folds and 50 repeats was applied.<br />Results: TBR <subscript>GE-180</subscript> features extracted from TSPO-positive volumes had the highest predictive power among TBR images (AUC 0.88, with age as co-factor 0.94). Dynamic [ <superscript>18</superscript> F]FET PET reached a similarly high performance (0.94, with age 0.96). The highest LR coefficients in multimodal analyses included TBR <subscript>GE-180</subscript> features, parameters from kinetic and early static [ <superscript>18</superscript> F]FET PET images, age, and the features from TBR <subscript>T2</subscript> images such as the kurtosis (0.97).<br />Conclusion: The findings suggest that incorporating TBR <subscript>GE-180</subscript> features along with kinetic information from dynamic [ <superscript>18</superscript> F]FET PET, kurtosis from TBR <subscript>T2</subscript> , and age can yield very high predictability of IDH mutation status, thus potentially improving early patient management.<br /> (© 2024.
