Analysis entailed two tasks: differentiating HER2-negative (i.e., HER2-zero or HER2-low) from HER2-positive tumors (task 1), and differentiating HER2-zero from HER2-low tumors (task 2). For each task, patients from center 1 were randomly assigned in 7:3 ratio to training (task 1: n=405; task 2: n=284) or internal test (task 1: n=173; task 2: n=122) sets; those from center 2 formed an external test set (task 1: n=159; task 2: n=105). Radiomics features were extracted from early-phase dynamic contrast-enhanced images (DCE), T2-weighted images (T2WI), and DWI. For each task, a support vector machine (SVM) was used for feature selection; a multiparametric radiomics score (radscore) was computed using feature weights from SVM correlation coefficients; conventional MRI and combined models were constructed; and model performances were evaluated. SHAP analysis was used to provide local and global interpretations for model outputs. <b>RESULTS:</b> In the external test set, for task 1, AUCs for the conventional MRI model, radscore, and combined model were 0.624, 0.757, and 0.762, respectively; for task 2, AUC for radscore was 0.754, and no conventional MRI model or combined model could be constructed. SHAP analysis identified early-phase DCE features as having the strongest influence for both tasks; T2WI features also had a prominent role for task 2. <b>CONCLUSION:</b> The findings indicate suboptimal performance of MRI radiomics models for noninvasive characterization of HER2 expression. <b>CLINICAL IMPACT:</b> The study provides an example of the use of SHAP interpretation analysis to better understand predictions of imaging-based machine learning models.</p>","PeriodicalId":55529,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Roentgenology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142481663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fellowship-trained pediatric radiologists annotated lung nodules to serve as the reference standard. Both CT scans were processed using two publicly available lung-nodule CAD systems previously trained using adult data: FlyerScan and Medical Open Network for Artificial Intelligence (MONAI). The systems' sensitivities for nodules measuring 3-30 mm (n=247) were calculated when operating at a fixed frequency of two false-positives per scan. <b>Results:</b> FlyerScan exhibited detection sensitivities of 76.9% (190/247; 95% CI: 73.3-80.8%) on standard-dose scans and 66.8% (165/247; 95% CI: 62.6-71.5) on low-dose scans. MONAI exhibited detection sensitivities of 67.6% (167/247, 95% CI: 61.5-72.1) on standard-dose scans and 62.3% (154/247, 95% CI: 56.1-66.5%) on low-dose scans. The number of detected nodules for standard-dose versus low-dose scans for 3-mm nodules was 33 versus 24 (FlyerScan) and 16 versus 13 (MONAI), 4-mm nodules was 46 versus 42 (FlyerScan) and 39 versus 30 (MONAI), 5-mm nodules was 38 versus 33 (FlyerScan) and 32 versus 31 (MONAI), and 6-mm nodules was 27 versus 20 (FlyerScan) and 24 versus 24 (MONAI). For nodules measuring ≥7 mm, detection did not show a consistent pattern between standard-dose and low-dose scans for either system. <b>Conclusions:</b> Two lung-nodule CAD systems demonstrated decreased sensitivity on low-dose versus standard-dose pediatric CT scans performed in the same patients. The reduced detection at low dose was overall more pronounced for nodules measuring less than 5 mm. <b>Clinical Impact:</b> Caution is needed when using low-dose CT protocols in combination with CAD systems to help detect small lung nodules in pediatric patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":55529,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Roentgenology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142395473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
