Deep learning radiomics in prediction of NAC response

For breast cancer, the standard of treatment for most patients is neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), but response rates may vary among patients, causing delays in appropriate treatment. The authors of this prospective study aimed to investigate the feasibility of deep learning radiomics (DLR) in the prediction of NAC response at an early stage of breast cancer treatment. The authors found that

Combining radiomics with ultrasound-based risk stratification systems for thyroid nodules: an approach for improving performance

In this study, the authors develop a radiomics score using ultrasound images in order to predict thyroid malignancy and to investigate its potential as a complementary tool to improve the performance of risk stratification systems. They found that radiomics was able to help predict malignancy in thyroid nodules in combination with risk stratification systems by improving specificity, accuracy, positive predictive

Accurate prediction of responses to transarterial chemoembolization for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma by using artificial intelligence in contrast-enhanced ultrasound

The aim of this study was to establish and validate an artificial intelligence-based radiomics strategy in order to predict personalized responses to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to first transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) by analyzing contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) cines quantitatively. This was done using 130 HCC patients, showing that a deep learning-based radiomics method can effectively utilize CEUS, resulting in accurate and personalized

A pilot study on the performance of machine learning appled to texture-analysis-derived features for breast lesion characterisation at ABUS

In this study, the authors aimed to determine whether features derived from texture analysis (TA) are able to distinguish between normal, benign, and malignant tissue on automated breast ultrasound (ABUS). This pilot study included 54 women who underwent ABUS with benign and malignant solid breast lesions. The authors concluded that TA, in combination with machine learning (ML), may very well

Automated multiparametric localization of prostate cancer based on B-mode, shear-wave elastography, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound radiomics

In this study, the authors aimed to assess the potential of machine learning (ML) based on B-mode, shear-wave elastography (SWE), and dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (DCE-US) radiomics for the localization of prostate cancer lesions using transrectal ultrasound. The authors were able to demonstrate the technical feasibility of multiparametric ML to improve upon single US modalities for the localization of prostate cancer.
