Abstrakt: Objectives: To investigate whether radiomics features extracted from MRI of BRCA-positive patients with sub-centimeter breast masses can be coupled with machine learning to differentiate benign from malignant lesions using model-free parameter maps.
Methods: In this retrospective study, BRCA-positive patients who had an MRI from November 2013 to February 2019 that led to a biopsy (BI-RADS 4) or imaging follow-up (BI-RADS 3) for sub-centimeter lesions were included. Two radiologists assessed all lesions independently and in consensus according to BI-RADS. Radiomics features were calculated using open-source CERR software. Univariate analysis and multivariate modeling were performed to identify significant radiomics features and clinical factors to be included in a machine learning model to differentiate malignant from benign lesions.
Results: Ninety-six BRCA mutation carriers (mean age at biopsy = 45.5 ± 13.5 years) were included. Consensus BI-RADS classification assessment achieved a diagnostic accuracy of 53.4%, sensitivity of 75% (30/40), specificity of 42.1% (32/76), PPV of 40.5% (30/74), and NPV of 76.2% (32/42). The machine learning model combining five parameters (age, lesion location, GLCM-based correlation from the pre-contrast phase, first-order coefficient of variation from the 1st post-contrast phase, and SZM-based gray level variance from the 1st post-contrast phase) achieved a diagnostic accuracy of 81.5%, sensitivity of 63.2% (24/38), specificity of 91.4% (64/70), PPV of 80.0% (24/30), and NPV of 82.1% (64/78).
Conclusions: Radiomics analysis coupled with machine learning improves the diagnostic accuracy of MRI in characterizing sub-centimeter breast masses as benign or malignant compared with qualitative morphological assessment with BI-RADS classification alone in BRCA mutation carriers.
Key Points: • Radiomics and machine learning can help differentiate benign from malignant breast masses even if the masses are small and morphological features are benign. • Radiomics and machine learning analysis showed improved diagnostic accuracy, specificity, PPV, and NPV compared with qualitative morphological assessment alone.
