To establish machine learning(ML) models for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPC) using multiparameter magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), texture analysis (TA), dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) quantitative analysis and clinical parameters and to evaluate the stability of these models in internal and temporal validation. The dataset of 194 men was split into training (n = 135) and internal validation (n = 59) cohorts, and a temporal dataset (n = 58) was used for evaluation. The lesions with Gleason score ≥ 7 were defined as csPC. Logistic regression (LR), stepwise regression (SR), classical decision tree (cDT), conditional inference tree (CIT), random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) models were established by combining mpMRI-TA, DCE-MRI and clinical parameters and validated by internal and temporal validation using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Delong’s method. Eight variables were determined as important predictors for csPC, with the first three related to texture features derived from the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping. RF, LR and SR models yielded larger and more stable area under the ROC curve values (AUCs) than other models. In the temporal validation, the sensitivity was lower than that of the internal validation (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and AUC (p > 0.05). Each machine learning model in this study has good classification ability for csPC. Compared with internal validation, the sensitivity of each machine learning model in temporal validation was reduced, but the specificity, accuracy, PPV, NPV and AUCs remained stable at a good level. The RF, LR and SR models have better classification performance in the imaging-based diagnosis of csPC, and ADC texture-related parameters are of the highest importance.

Objective To compare the application effects of 3 dimensional sampling perfertion with application optimized contrasts using different flip angle evolutions (3D-SPACE) sequence under the status of high-resolution and low-resolution in Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) examination. Methods Forty-four examinees were conducted MRCP scanning with Siemens Avanto 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. In such examination, examinees were scanned by adopting 3D-SPACE sequence with high-resolution and low-resolution mode respectively. Then the imaging effects in the two resolution models were evaluated and scored by two senior radiologists separately. Later, the scoring results were analyzed statistically with the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Results Minimal changes were displayed more clearly in original image with high-resolution 3D-SPACE sequence, whilst imaging time of low-resolution 3D-SPACE sequence was less. There was no significant difference in image quality with Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) reconstruction technology between the two resolution models (score difference in delineating common bile duct: P=0.899, score difference in delineating right and left hepatic duct as well as main pancreatic duct: P=0.623). Conclusion For examinees with poor cooperation, low-resolution 3D-SPACE sequence was easier to get qualified images.
Objective To summarize the optimal sequence parameters, we compared the image quality of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) with different sequence parameters in lumbar nerve roots of Bama minipig at 1.5 T. Methods We performed lumbar DTI scan on 10 pigs for 3 times based on different combinations of slice thickness, view field and matrix. The signal to noise ratio and reconstructed diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) were measured by 3 experienced radiologists, then the DTT images were evaluated and scored. Scoring results were analyzed statistically with the statistical analysis. Results There was no significant differences in the SNR among different DTI images (P>0.05) when the voxel size were similar, whereas the slice thickness and FOV were different. The difference of DTI image score was statistically significant among the different sequences of FOV (P<0.05). The relative smaller FOV sequence had relative higher DDT image score. Conclusion Voxel size depends on slice thickness, view field and matrix, either too large or too small voxel can cause poor image quality. The DTT images show more nerve fibers and better continuity when use the small view field (72 mm×72 mm) in combination with small matrix. Therefore, this combination is a good choice for DTI evaluation of lumbar nerve root in miniature pigs.
Objective To investigate use of magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (MR-DTI) for quantitatively evaluating the efficacy of Mailuoning Injection on non-compressive lumbar radiculitis.Methods Nine Bama mini pigs were selected and divided into group A,B and C,3 cases in each group.The non-compressive lumbar radiculitis model was established under CT-guiding.The corresponding therapeutic drugs (group A:10 mL Mailuoning;group B:10 mL normal saline;group C:10 mL diminishing inflammation fluid) were given by epidural injection on 14 d after constructing model.MR-DTI was performed before model construction,14 d after model construction and before treatment.One experimental pig in each group was taken on 3,7,14 d after treatment,performed MR-DTI and killed for taking the nerve root sample to conduct the immunohistochemical detection.The fractional anisotropy (FA) values of nerve root in MR-DTI imaging were measured.The FA values and immunohistochemical detection results were statistically analyzed.Results MR-DTI:the FA values after model construction in each group was decreased (P<0.05);the FA values on 14 d after treatment in the group A was increased,which showed statistically significant difference compared with before treatment (P<0.05);the FA values after 3,7 d treatment in the group A had no obvious increase,the difference between the group A and B was not statistically significant (P>0.05),but the FA values increase in the group C was earlier and more rapid than other two groups (P<0.05);the FA values after 14 d treatment in the group A was risen again,the FA values of bilateral nerve roots had no statistical difference between the group A with the group B and C (P>0.05),while the FA values had statistical difference between the group B and C (P<0.05).The immunohistochemical results:TNF-α integral absorbency value(IA value) on 7 d after treatment in the group A began to decline;the TNF-α IA value on 14 d after treatment in the group A and C was significantly decreased compared to group B,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Mailuoning Injection has a certain effect on non-compressive lumbar radiculitis,which can be evaluated by using DTI.
Objective:To explore the pathological changes of non-compressive radiculitis after CT-guided treatment,and also e-valuate the changes of DTI parameters in lumbar nerve root. Methods:9 pigs with CT-guided induced non-compressive radiculi-tis were divided into three groups with 3 swine in each group based on implemented treatment methods. Bilateral epidural nerve root injection,at segments L2~3,L3~4,and L4~5,of specific therapeutic materials were injected into the respective groups. Thereafter,each group underwent postoperative (at 3,7 and 14 days) DTI MRI scan,and immunohistochemical study was performed on nerve root specimens. Analysis of each group in the postoperative FA value and nerve root immunohistochemical changes,the correlation between FA value and immunohistochemical changes were also analyzed. Results:There were declining trend that have been observed in nerve root FA value and TNF-α average optical density values after anti-inflammatory liquid treatment. After 14 days,the FA value and TNF-α average optical density value of Mailuoning treatment group showed statistical signifi-cance then compared with saline group. Furthermore,FA value of nerve root and immunohistochemical changes were correlated negatively. Conclusions:Nerve root inflammation could be improved by anti-inflammatory liquid treatment,and DTI could be used as a non-invasive monitoring tool for non-compressive radiculitis after minimal invasive treatment.
