Background and goalNoninvasive prediction of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status in glioma guides surgical strategies and individualized management. We explored the capability on preoperatively identifying IDH status of combining a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a novel imaging modality, ultra-high field 7.0 Tesla (T) chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging.MethodWe enrolled 84 glioma patients of different tumor grades in this retrospective study. Amide proton transfer CEST and structural Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging at 7T were performed preoperatively, and the tumor regions are manually segmented, leading to the “annotation” maps that offers the location and shape information of the tumors. The tumor region slices in CEST and T1 images were further cropped out as samples and combined with the annotation maps, which were inputted to a 2D CNN model for generating IDH predictions. Further comparison analysis to radiomics-based prediction methods was performed to demonstrate the crucial role of CNN for predicting IDH based on CEST and T1 images.ResultsA fivefold cross-validation was performed on the 84 patients and 4090 slices. We observed a model based on only CEST achieved accuracy of 74.01% ± 1.15%, and the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.8022 ± 0.0147. When using T1 image only, the prediction performances dropped to accuracy of 72.52% ± 1.12% and AUC of 0.7904 ± 0.0214, which indicates no superiority of CEST over T1. However, when we combined CEST and T1 together with the annotation maps, the performances of the CNN model were further boosted to accuracy of 82.94% ± 1.23% and AUC of 0.8868 ± 0.0055, suggesting the importance of a joint analysis of CEST and T1. Finally, using the same inputs, the CNN-based predictions achieved significantly improved performances above those from radiomics-based predictions (logistic regression and support vector machine) by 10% to 20% in all metrics.Conclusion7T CEST and structural MRI jointly offer improved sensitivity and specificity of preoperative non-invasive imaging for the diagnosis of IDH mutation status. As the first study of CNN model on imaging acquired at ultra-high field MR, our results could demonstrate the potential of combining ultra-high-field CEST and CNN for facilitating decision-making in clinical practice. However, due to the limited cases and B1 inhomogeneities, the accuracy of this model will be improved in our further study. |
