Abstract
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of radiomics signatures obtained from dual-energy computed tomography enterography (DECTE) in the evaluation of mucosal healing (MH) in patients diagnosed with Crohn’s disease (CD). In this study, 106 CD patients with a total of 221 diseased intestinal segments (79 with MH and 142 non-MH) from two medical centers were included and randomly divided into training and testing cohorts at a ratio of 7:3. Radiomics features were extracted from the enteric phase iodine maps and 40-kev and 70-kev virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs) of the diseased intestinal segments, as well as from mesenteric fat. Feature selection was performed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression. Radiomics models were subsequently established, and the accuracy of these models in identifying MH in CD was assessed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The combined-iodine model formulated by integrating the intestinal and mesenteric fat radiomics features of iodine maps exhibited the most favorable performance in evaluating MH, with AUCs of 0.989 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.977–1.000) in the training cohort and 0.947 (95% CI 0.884–1.000) in the testing cohort. Patients categorized as high risk by the combined-iodine model displayed a greater probability of experiencing disease progression when contrasted with low-risk patients. The combined-iodine radiomics model, which is built upon iodine maps of diseased intestinal segments and mesenteric fat, has demonstrated promising performance in evaluating MH in CD patients.

The Journal of Digital Imaging (JDI) is the official peer-reviewed journal of the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM). JDI’s goal is to enhance the exchange of knowledge encompassed by the general topic of Imaging Informatics in Medicine such as research and practice in clinical, engineering, and information technologies and techniques in all medical imaging environments. JDI topics are of interest to researchers, developers, educators, physicians, and imaging informatics professionals.
