Abstract Objective To identify CT-acquisition parameters accounting for radiomics variability and to develop a post-acquisition CT-image correction method reduce improve classification in both phantom clinical applications. Methods protocols were prospectively tested phantom. The multi-centric retrospective study included CT scans of patients with colorectal/renal cancer liver metastases. Ninety-three features first order texture extracted. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) between...
The efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) depends on the tumor microenvironment (TIME), with a preference for T cell-inflamed TIME. However, challenges in tissue-based assessments via biopsies have triggered exploration non-invasive alternatives, such as radiomics, to comprehensively evaluate TIME across diverse cancers. To address these challenges, we develop an ICI response signature by integrating radiomics gene-expression profiles. We conducted pan-cancer investigation into...
Background Reliable predictive imaging markers of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors are needed. Purpose To develop and validate a pretreatment CT-based radiomics signature predict in advanced solid tumors. Materials Methods In this retrospective study, was developed patients with tumors (including breast, cervix, gastrointestinal) treated anti-programmed cell death-1 or programmed death ligand-1 monotherapy from August 2012 May 2018 (cohort 1). This tested bladder lung cancer (cohorts...
Immunotherapy by immune checkpoint inhibitors has become a standard treatment strategy for many types of solid tumors. However, the majority patients with cancer will not respond, and predicting response to this therapy is still challenge. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods can extract meaningful information from complex data, such as image data. In clinical routine, radiology or histopathology images are ubiquitously available. AI been used predict immunotherapy images, either directly...
Purpose To identify precise three-dimensional radiomics features in CT images that enable computation of stable and biologically meaningful habitats with machine learning for cancer heterogeneity assessment. Materials Methods This retrospective study included 2436 liver or lung lesions from 605 scans (November 2010–December 2021) 331 patients (mean age, 64.5 years ± 10.1 [SD]; 185 male patients). Three-dimensional were computed original perturbed (simulated retest) different combinations...
Abstract Medical image classification requires labeled, task-specific datasets which are used to train deep learning networks de novo, or fine-tune foundation models. However, this process is computationally and technically demanding. In language processing, in-context provides an alternative, where models learn from within prompts, bypassing the need for parameter updates. Yet, remains underexplored in medical analysis. Here, we systematically evaluate model Generative Pretrained...
Abstract Glioblastoma is the most common primary brain tumor. Standard therapy consists of maximum safe resection combined with adjuvant radiochemotherapy followed by chemotherapy temozolomide, however prognosis extremely poor. Assessment residual tumor after surgery and patient stratification into prognostic groups (i.e., volume) currently hindered subjective evaluation enhancement in medical images (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]). Furthermore, objective evidence defining optimal time to...
Background Foundation models (FMs) show promise in medical AI by learning flexible features from large datasets, potentially surpassing handcrafted radiomics. Outcome prediction of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) with FMs using routine imaging remains unexplored. Purpose To evaluate end-to-end FM-based multiple instance (MIL) for 2-year overall survival (OS), locoregional control (LRC), freedom distant metastasis (FFDM) risk group stratification pretreatment CT scans HNSCC....
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are the gold standard therapy in patients with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR)/microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). A significant proportion of show resistance, making identification determinants response crucial. Growing evidence supports role sex determining susceptibility to anticancer therapies, but data is lacking for MSI-H CRC. Methods In this real-world cohort comprising 624 mCRC receiving ICIs, we...
Abstract Multimodal vision-language models (VLM) have shown promising biomarker classification performance in individual data modalities such as radiology and pathology. By learning joint representations of visual textual information, these methods to provide better features from medical images. However, current are limited the multimodal landscape 2D images pathology, leaving a substantial gap for creation with 3D data. In this study, we introduce novel, VLM that can process both pathology...
Abstract Tumor heterogeneity has been postulated as a hallmark of treatment resistance and cure constraint in cancer patients. Conventional quantitative medical imaging (radiomics) can be extended to computing voxel-wise features aggregating tumor subregions with similar radiological phenotypes (imaging habitats) elucidate the distribution within among tumors. Despite promising applications habitats, they may affected by variability radiomics features, preventing comparison generalization...
Abstract Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) IHC is the most commonly used biomarker for immunotherapy response. However, quantification of PD-L1 status in pathology slides challenging. Neither manual nor a computer-based mimicking readouts perfectly reproducible, and predictive performance both approaches regarding response limited. In this study, we developed deep learning (DL) method to predict directly from raw image data, without explicit intermediary steps such as cell detection or...
Abstract The search for understanding immunotherapy response has sparked interest in diverse areas of oncology, with artificial intelligence (AI) and radiomics emerging as promising tools, capable gathering large amounts information to identify suitable patients treatment. application AI radiology grown, driven by the hypothesis that images capture tumor phenotypes thus could provide valuable insights into likelihood. However, despite rapid growth studies, no algorithms field have reached...
Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapy is a promising treatment option for relapsed or refractory (R/R) large B‐cell lymphoma (LBCL).
