Sumario: | To assess if quantitative integrated deep learning and radiomics features can predict the PD-L1 expression level in preoperative MRI of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. The data in this study consist of 103 hepatocellular carcinoma patients who received immunotherapy in a single center. These patients were divided into a high PD-L1 expression group (30 patients) and a low PD-L1 expression group (73 patients). Both radiomics and deep learning features were extracted from their MRI sequence of T2-WI, which were merged into an integrative feature space for machine learning for the prediction of PD-L1 expression. The five-fold cross-validation was adopted to validate the performance of the model, while the AUC was used to assess the predictive ability of the model. Based on the five-fold cross-validation, the integrated model achieved the best prediction performance, with an AUC score of 0.897 ± 0.084, followed by the deep learning-based model with an AUC of 0.852 ± 0.043 then the radiomics-based model with AUC of 0.794 ± 0.035. The feature set integrating radiomics and deep learning features is more effective in predicting PD-L1 expression level than only one feature type. The integrated model can achieve fast and accurate prediction of PD-L1 expression status in preoperative MRI of HCC patients. |
