Radiomics analysis was used in this study to examine whether it could be possible to distinguish the carotid arteries of sickle cell disease mice (SS) from heterozygous controls (AS) using contrast-free carotid magnetic reso-nance imaging (MRA) images.

This study shows the efficacy of radiomics in distinguishing arterial features between SCD and control mice. A noninvasive and translational method may be able to assess arterial alterations in SCD for prognostic purposes in the manage-ment of this disease also in humans.

摘要

Radiomics analysis was used in this study to examine whether it could be possible to distinguish the carotid arteries of sickle cell disease mice (SS) from heterozygous controls (AS) using contrast-free carotid magnetic reso-nance imaging (MRA) images. A total of 66 MRA scans of one-month-old mice and 64 scans of three-month-old mice were used. Using PyRadiomics software, PyRadiomics preprocessing parameters critical for reproducibility include: version 3.0 (IBSI-compliant) 112 radiomic features were extracted from segmented carotid ar-tery images, followed by radiomic feature selection, K-fold splitting of the dataset for cross-validation, and training and validation of a predictive mod-el. At 1 month of age, four radiomic features (Original glcm Imc1; Original firstorder Minimum; Original shape MinorAxisLength; Original shape Ma-jorAxisLength) yielded an accuracy of 74% (AUROC of 0.72; 95% C.I. be-tween 0.60 and 0.84 with a p value of 0.032). At three months, a single fea-ture (Original shape MeshVolume) achieved an accuracy of 76% (AUROC of 0.67; 95% CI between 0.61 and 0.87; p-value of 0.0020). This study shows the efficacy of radiomics in distinguishing arterial features between SCD and control mice. A noninvasive and translational method may be able to assess arterial alterations in SCD for prognostic purposes in the manage-ment of this disease also in humans.
