OBJECTIVE:To study the utility of intratumoral and peritumoral radiomic models in distinguishing between benign and malignant thyroid micronodules. METHODS:CT-enhanced images of 607 patients with thyroid micronodules were obtained, and an additional 100 patients with micronodules were collected as an independent test group on the basis of the sequence of their examination times. The peritumoral region of interest (ROI) was delineated by expanding outward by 1 and 2 mm. Radiomics features were extracted from the 3-dimensional volume of interest (VOI), which included intratumoral, peritumoral 1 mm, peritumoral 2 mm, intratumoral+peritumoral 1 mm and 2 mm in the arterial phase, venous phase, and combined arteriovenous phase. All of the data were randomly divided into training and validation groups at an 8:2 ratio. The minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method was utilized for regression dimension reduction. Radscore, clinical, and combined models were constructed. A nomogram was used to assess the performance of the fusion model, and an external test group was utilized to test the model's performance. RESULTS:The intratumoral+peritumoral 1 mm radiomic model based on arterial-venous phase fusion had the best prediction performance (AUC training group 0.838; 95% CI: 0.802-0.873; validation group 0.827; 95% CI: 0.755-0.899; external test group 0.770; 95% CI: 0675-0.864). The combined model constructed with the radscore and clinical model was the optimal model (AUC training group 0.859; 95% CI: 0.826-0.892; validation group 0.876; 95% CI: 0817-0.935; external test group 0.810; 95% CI: 0.723-0.897). CONCLUSION:Both the intratumoral and peritumoral radiomic models had good diagnostic efficacy in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid micronodules.
BACKGROUND:Gallbladder cancer is a rare but aggressive malignancy that is often diagnosed at an advanced stage and is associated with poor outcomes. PURPOSE:To develop a radiomics model to discriminate between benign and malignant gallbladder lesions using enhanced computed tomography (CT) imaging. MATERIAL AND METHODS:All patients had a preoperative contrast-enhanced CT scan, which was independently analyzed by two radiologists. Regions of interest were manually delineated on portal venous phase images, and radiomics features were extracted. Feature selection was performed using mRMR and LASSO methods. The patients were randomly divided into training and test groups at a ratio of 7:3. Clinical and radiomics parameters were identified in the training group, three models were constructed, and the models' prediction accuracy and ability were evaluated using AUC and calibration curves. RESULTS:In the training group, the AUCs of the clinical model and radiomics model were 0.914 and 0.968, and that of the nomogram model was 0.980, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in diagnostic accuracy between nomograms and radiomics features (P <0.05). There was no significant difference in diagnostic accuracy between the nomograms and clinical features (P >0.05) or between the clinical features and radiomics features (P >0.05). In the testing group, the AUC of the clinical model and radiomics model were 0.904 and 0.941, and that of the nomogram model was 0.948, respectively. There was no significant difference in diagnostic accuracy between the three groups (P >0.05). CONCLUSION:It was suggested that radiomics analysis using enhanced CT imaging can effectively discriminate between benign and malignant gallbladder lesions.

ObjectiveWe explored whether radiomics features extracted from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images can predict the clinical outcome of patients with acute ischaemic stroke. This study was conducted to investigate and validate a radiomics nomogram for predicting acute ischaemic stroke prognosis.MethodsA total of 257 patients with acute ischaemic stroke from three clinical centres were retrospectively assessed from February 2019 to July 2022. According to the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 3 months, the patients were divided into a favourable outcome group (mRS of 0–2) and an unfavourable outcome group (mRS of 3−6). The high-throughput features from the regions of interest (ROIs) within the radiologist-drawn contour by AK software were extracted. We used two feature selection methods, minimum redundancy and maximum (mRMR) and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm (LASSO), to select the features. Three radiomics models (DWI, FLAIR, and DWI-FLAIR) were established. A radiomics nomogram with patient characteristics and radiomics signature was built using a multivariate logistic regression model. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated in the test and validation sets. Ultimately, decision curve analysis was implemented to assess the clinical value of the nomogram.ResultsThe FLAIR, DWI, and DWI-FLAIR radiomics model exhibited good prediction performance, with area under the curve (AUCs) of 0.922 (95% CI: 0.876−0.968), 0.875 (95% CI: 0.815−0.935), and 0.895 (95% CI: 0.840−0.950). The radiomics nomogram with clinical characteristics including the overall cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) burden score, hemorrhagic transformation (HT) and admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (NIHSS) score and the FLAIR Radscore presented good discriminatory potential in the training set (AUC = 0.94; 95% CI: 0.90−0.98) and test set (AUC = 0.94; 95% CI: 0.87−1), which was validated in the validation set 1 (AUC = 0.95; 95% CI: 0.88−1) and validation set 2 (AUC = 0.90; 95% CI: 0.768−1). In addition, it demonstrated good calibration, and decision curve analysis confirmed the clinical value of this nomogram.ConclusionThis non-invasive clinical-FLIAR radiomics nomogram shows good performance in predicting ischaemic stroke prognosis after thrombolysis.

ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of using a contrast-enhanced CT image-based radiomics model to predict central cervical lymph node status in patients with thyroid nodules.MethodsPretreatment clinical and CT imaging data from 271 patients with surgically diagnosed and treated thyroid nodules were retrospectively analyzed. According to the pathological features of the thyroid nodules and central lymph nodes, the patients were divided into three groups: group 1: papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) metastatic lymph node group; group 2: PTC nonmetastatic lymph node group; and group 3: benign thyroid nodule reactive lymph node group. Radiomics models were constructed to compare the three groups by pairwise classification (model 1: group 1 vs group 3; model 2: group 1 vs group 2; model 3: group 2 vs group 3; and model 4: group 1 vs groups (2 + 3)). The feature parameters with good generalizability and clinical risk factors were screened. A nomogram was constructed by combining the radiomics features and clinical risk factors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were performed to assess the diagnostic and clinical value of the nomogram.ResultsFor radiomics models 1, 2, and 3, the areas under the curve (AUCs) in the training group were 0.97, 0.96, and 0.93, respectively. The following independent clinical risk factors were identified: model 1, arterial phase CT values; model 2, sex and arterial phase CT values; model 3: none. The AUCs for the nomograms of models 1 and 2 in the training group were 0.98 and 0.97, respectively, and those in the test group were 0.95 and 0.87, respectively. The AUCs of the model 4 nomogram in the training and test groups were 0.96 and 0.94, respectively. Calibration curve analysis and DCA revealed the high clinical value of the nomograms of models 1, 2 and 4.ConclusionThe nomograms based on contrast-enhanced CT images had good predictive efficacy in classifying benign and malignant central cervical lymph nodes of thyroid nodule patients.
Tumour rupture of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) has been considered to be a remarkable risk factor because of its unfavourable impact on the oncological outcome. Although tumour rupture has not yet been included in the current tumor-node-metastasis classification of GISTs as a prognostic factor, it may change the natural history of a low-risk GIST to a high-risk GIST. Originally, tumour rupture was defined as the spillage or fracture of a tumour into a body cavity, but recently, new definitions have been proposed. These definitions distinguished from the prognostic point of view between the major defects of tumour integrity, which are considered tumour rupture, and the minor defects of tumour integrity, which are not considered tumour rupture. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that the risk of disease recurrence in R1 patients is largely modulated by the presence of tumour rupture. Therefore, after excluding tumour rupture, R1 may not be an unfavourable prognostic factor for GISTs. Additionally, after the standard adjuvant treatment of imatinib for GIST with rupture, a high recurrence rate persists. This review highlights the prognostic value of tumour rupture in GISTs and emphasizes the need to carefully take into account and minimize the risk of tumour rupture when choosing surgical strategies for GISTs.

Virtual chemistry experiment is an important teaching tool in middle schools. It can not only help students understand the experimental principles, but also help them memorize the experimental procedures. However, there are still some problems in virtual chemistry experiments. First, in existing research, user intentions are often misunderstood and cannot be accurately understood. Second, the existing research fail to identify the user's wrong actions, which reduce the accuracy of the experiment. Third, the user sense of operation and realism is not strong during the experiment, which reduces the user's experience. Finally, the lack of navigation guidance for experimental operations increases user learning time. In order to solve these problems. This paper proposes a scheme for establishing an intelligent navigational chemical laboratory based on multimodal fusion. First of all, we design a new smart beaker structure with perceptual ability, which can be used to complete most chemical experiments and give users a real sense of experience. Besides, we propose a multimodal fusion understanding algorithm, which reduces the misidentification of the experiment and better understands the real intention of the user. Finally, intelligent navigation and wrong behavior recognition functions are added to the experimental equipment, which improves the efficiency of human-computer interaction. The results show that Compared with the existing virtual laboratory or system, the chemical laboratory scheme proposed in this paper through multimodal fusion understanding algorithm greatly reduces the user's memory load and improves the success rate of the experiment. Moreover, through the combination of virtual and real, the virtual chemistry experiment not only improves the authenticity of the operation, but also stimulates the students' interest in learning, which is well received by users.

This study focused on the application of functional magnetic resonance imaging and neuropsychology in diagnosis of vascular mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and the exploration of its relevant factors. The study enrolled 28 patients with vascular MCI in an observation group and 30 healthy individuals in a control group. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging. An automatic segmentation algorithm based on graph theory was adopted to process the images. Age, sex, disease course, Montreal Cognitive Assessment score, regional homogeneity, and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation levels were recorded. There were no significant differences in age, gender, and course of disease between the observation group and the control group (P > 0.05). The level of regional homogeneity in the left posterior cerebellum in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05).The regional homogeneity level of bilateral cingulate cortex was negatively correlated with Montreal Cognitive Assessment score (P < 0.05). The amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation of bilateral inferior parietal lobe, parietal lobe, and prefrontal lobe in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation of bilateral anterior cingulate gyrus, superior medial frontal gyrus, orbital frontal gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus, and right auxiliary motor area was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Heart disease, such as myocardial infarction and atrial fibrillation, is a high risk factor for vascular MCI. Functional magnetic resonance imaging combined with an automatic segmentation algorithm can noninvasively observe the changes of a patient's brain tissue, which can be used in the recognition of vascular MCI. The global network attributes of patients with depression tend to be more randomized and have stronger resilience under targeted attacks.
