摘要

Classifying chondroid tumors is an essential step for effective treatment planning. Recently, with the advances in computer-aided diagnosis and the increasing availability of medical imaging data, automated tumor classification using deep learning shows promise in assisting clinical decision-making. In this study, we propose a hybrid approach that integrates deep learning and radiomics for chondroid tumor classification. First, we performed tumor segmentation using the nnUNetv2 framework, which provided three-dimensional (3D) delineation of tumor regions of interest (ROIs). From these ROIs, we extracted a set of radiomics features and deep learning-derived features. After feature selection, we identified 15 radiomics and 15 deep features to build classification models. We developed 5 machine learning classifiers including Random Forest, XGBoost, Gradient Boosting, LightGBM, and CatBoost for the classification models. The approach integrating features from radiomics, ROI-originated deep learning features, and clinical variables yielded the best overall classification results. Among the classifiers, CatBoost classifier achieved the highest accuracy of 0.90 (95% CI 0.90–0.93), a weighted kappa of 0.85, and an AUC of 0.91. These findings highlight the potential of integrating 3D U-Net-assisted segmentation with radiomics and deep learning features to improve classification of chondroid tumors.
