New radiomics model to predict the Leibovich risk groups for ccRCC patients

This study developed and validated a triphasic CT-based radiomics model, which incorporated radiomics features and significant clinical factors, for preoperative risk stratification of patients with localized clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The model showed a favorable performance in preoperatively predicting the Leibovich low-risk and intermediate-high-risk groups in localized ccRCC patients. The authors determined that this model can be used

Radiomics in the evaluation of ovarian masses

This systematic review looked at the literature reporting the application of radiomics to imaging techniques in ovarian lesion patients. The authors found that radiomics showed promising results and great potential as a clinical diagnostic tool in patients with ovarian masses when it comes to improving lesion stratification, treatment selection, and outcome prediction. However, much larger and more diverse patient cohorts

Radiomic assessment of oesophageal adenocarcinoma

The use of radiomic models offers a possible way to improve oesophageal adenocarcinoma assessment through quantitative image analysis, but model selection becomes complicated due to the myriad available predictors as well as the uncertainty of their relevance and reproducibility. Therefore, the aim of this study was to review recent research in order to facilitate precedent-based model selection for prospective validation

Machine learning based on clinical characteristics and chest CT quantitative measurements for prediction of adverse clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients with COVID-19

In this study, the authors aimed to develop and validate a machine learning model for the prediction of adverse outcomes in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. They discovered that their findings could be used to facilitate the prediction of adverse outcomes in patients with COVID-19, as well as may allow efficient utilization of medical resources and individualized treatment plans for COVID-19

Initial chest radiographs and artificial intelligence (AI) predict clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients: analysis of 697 Italian patients

The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate whether initial chest X-ray (CXR) severity assessed by an AI system may have prognostic utility in patients with COVID-19. The authors determined, through AI- and radiologist-assessed disease severity scores on CXRs obtained on emergency department (ED) presentation, that they were independent and comparable predictors of adverse outcomes in patients with COVID-19.

Machine learning and radiomic phenotyping of lower grade gliomas: improving survival prediction

In this study, the authors aimed to evaluate whether MRI-based radiomic features were able to improve the accuracy of survival predictions for lower grade gliomas over clinical isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) status. The authors extracted radiomic features from the preoperative MRI data of 296 lower grade glioma patients from their institution as well as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and The

Can radiomics improve the prediction of metastatic relapse of myxoid/round cell liposarcomas?

In this study, the authors aimed to improve the prediction of patients’ prognosis of myxoid/round cell liposarcomas (MRC-LPS) using a radiomics approach. 35 patients with MRC-LPS were included in this retrospective study. They found that the best prediction of metastatic relapse-free survival for MRC-LPS was achieved by combining the radiomics score to relevant radiological features. Key points Fourteen radiomics features
