Purpose: To construct a nomogram based on sonogram features and radiomics features to differentiate granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) from invasive breast cancer (IBC). Materials and Methods: A retrospective collection of 213 GLMs and 472 IBCs from three centers was divided into a training set, an internal validation set, and an external validation set. A radiomics model was built based on radiomics features, and the RAD score of the lesion was calculated. The sonogram radiomics model was constructed using ultrasound features and RAD scores. Finally, the diagnostic efficacy of the three sonographers with different levels of experience before and after combining the RAD score was assessed in the external validation set. Results: The RAD score, lesion diameter, orientation, echogenicity, and tubular extension showed significant differences in GLM and IBC (p < 0.05). The sonogram radiomics model based on these factors achieved optimal performance, and its area under the curve (AUC) was 0.907, 0.872, and 0.888 in the training, internal, and external validation sets, respectively. The AUCs before and after combining the RAD scores were 0.714, 0.750, and 0.830 and 0.834, 0.853, and 0.878, respectively, for sonographers with different levels of experience. The diagnostic efficacy was comparable for all sonographers when combined with the RAD score (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Radiomics features effectively enhance the ability of sonographers to discriminate between GLM and IBC and reduce interobserver variation. The nomogram combining ultrasound features and radiomics features show promising diagnostic efficacy and can be used to identify GLM and IBC in a noninvasive approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
