Identification of Pancreaticoduodenectomy Resection for Pancreatic Head Adenocarcinoma: A Preliminary Study of Radiomics

BACKGROUND: In a pathological examination of pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic head adenocarcinoma, a resection margin without cancer cells in 1 mm is recognized as R0; a resection margin with cancer cells in 1 mm is recognized as R1. The preoperative identification of R0 and R1 is of great sig...

description BACKGROUND: In a pathological examination of pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic head adenocarcinoma, a resection margin without cancer cells in 1 mm is recognized as R0; a resection margin with cancer cells in 1 mm is recognized as R1. The preoperative identification of R0 and R1 is of great significance for surgical decision and prognosis. We conducted a preliminary radiomics study based on preoperative CT (computer tomography) images to evaluate a resection margin which was R0 or R1. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 258 preoperative CT images of 86 patients (34 cases of R0 and 52 cases of R1) who were diagnosed as pancreatic head adenocarcinoma and underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. The radiomics study consists of five stages: (i) delineate and segment regions of interest (ROIs); (ii) by solving discrete Laplacian equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions, fit the ROIs to rectangular regions; (iii) enhance the textures of the fitted ROIs combining wavelet transform and fractional differential; (iv) extract texture features from the enhanced ROIs combining wavelet transform and statistical analysis methods; and (v) reduce features using principal component analysis (PCA) and classify the resection margins using the support vector machine (SVM), and then investigate the associations between texture features and histopathological characteristics using the Mann–Whitney U-test. To reduce overfitting, the SVM classifier embedded a linear kernel and adopted the leave-one-out cross-validation. RESULTS: It achieved an AUC (area under receiver operating characteristic curve) of 0.8614 and an accuracy of 84.88%. Setting p ≤ 0.01 in the Mann–Whitney U-test, two features of the run-length matrix, which are derived from diagonal sub-bands in wavelet decomposition, showed statistically significant differences between R0 and R1. CONCLUSIONS: It indicates that the radiomics study is rewarding for the aided diagnosis of R0 and R1. Texture features can potentially enhance physicians' diagnostic ability.
