    RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To determine the additional value of peritumoral radiomics in predicting overall survival (OS) in surgically resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its correlation with pathological findings. METHODS: A total of 526 patients with surgically resected NSCLC were included (191 training, 160 internal validation, and 175 external validation cohorts). CT images were used to segment the gross tumor volume (GTV) and peritumoral volume (PTV) within distances of 3, 6, 9 mm from the tumor boundary (PTV3, PTV6, and PTV9), and radiomic features were extracted. Four prognostic models for OS (GTV, GTV + PTV3, GTV + PTV6, and GTV + PTV9) were constructed using the training cohort. The prognostic ability and feature importance were evaluated using the validation cohorts. Pathological findings were compared between the two patient groups (n = 30 for each) having the top 30 and bottom 30 values of the most important peritumoral feature. RESULTS: The GTV+ PTV3 models exhibited the highest predictive ability, which was higher than that of the GTV model in the internal validation cohort (C-index: 0.666 vs. 0.616, P = 0.027) and external validation cohort (C-index: 0.705 vs. 0.656, P = 0.048). The most important feature was GLDM_Dependence_Entropy, extracted from PTV3. High peritumoral GLDM_Dependence_Entropy was associated with a high proportion of invasive histological types, tumor spread through air spaces, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The GTV and PTV3 combination demonstrated a higher prognostic ability, compared to GTV alone. Peritumoral radiomic features may be associated with various pathological prognostic factors.

    BACKGROUND: Low tube voltage computed tomography venography (CTV) can be expected to increase imaging contrast and decrease radiation exposure by using iterative reconstruction (IR). This study evaluated the diagnostic ability of low tube voltage CTV with IR for deep vein thrombosis (DVT), compared to ultrasonography (US).Methods and Results:Two experienced radiologists retrospectively reevaluated the CTV data of 55 of 318 consecutive patients suspected of having DVT or pulmonary embolism between December 2015 and April 2017. The 55 patients had undergone both low tube voltage CTV and US (within 1 day before or after CTV). The lower extremity veins were divided into 10 segments. The DVT forms were categorized into 3 types: complete, concentric, and eccentric. We analyzed the 534 overall segments (16 segments excluded in US) measured using both CTV and US. The sensitivity-specificity was overall 73.3-90.0%, for femoropopliteal, it was 90.0-93.2%, and for the calf, it was 71.1-87.2%. The diagnostic accuracy between the 'eccentric only' and 'others' groups focusing on DVT forms was compared, and significant differences were revealed, especially in the muscular vein. CONCLUSIONS: The DVT diagnostic ability above the knee was comparable between low tube voltage CTV with IR and conventional CTV, and the radiation dose was reduced. It was suggested that eccentric DVT measured by CTV tend to be a false-positive, especially in the calf muscular vein.

    OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to differentiate between low- and high-risk types of thymoma using quantitative 3D shape analysis of CT images. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This retrospective study included 44 patients with a pathologic diagnosis of thymoma. Two radiologists semiautomatically contoured CT images of the tumors and evaluated 3D shape parameters-namely, quantitative indicators of surface smoothness, including sphericity, ellipsoidality, and discrete compactness. The visual CT findings that were analyzed included longest diameter, shape (round-oval, lobulated, or irregular), calcification, cystic or necrotic changes, and enhancement pattern (homogeneous or heterogeneous). The difference and discriminating performance between low-risk (types A, AB, and B1) and high-risk (types B2 and B3) thymomas were statistically assessed. Interobserver agreement was determined using the concordance correlation coefficient. RESULTS. Twenty-three low-risk and 21 high-risk thymomas were identified on the basis of pathologic findings. The median values of sphericity and ellipsoidality were significantly higher for low-risk thymomas than for high-risk thymomas (for sphericity, 0.566 vs 0.517; for ellipsoidality, 0.941 vs 0.875; p < 0.05 for both). The AUC values of sphericity and ellipsoidality were 0.704 and 0.712, respectively. The best cutoff values were 0.528 and 0.919 for sphericity and ellipsoidality, respectively. Risk assessment combining these cutoff values and the mode of tumor detection (incidental detection or detection based on the presence of symptoms) improved the AUC value to 0.856 (sensitivity, 81.0% [17 of 21 patients]; specificity, 82.6% [19 of 23 patients]). All 3D shape parameters showed almost perfect interobserver agreement (concordance correlation coefficient, > 0.90). The visual CT findings were not significantly different between low- and high-risk thymomas (p > 0.05 for all). CONCLUSION. Quantitative 3D shape analysis has excellent reproducibility, and combining this technique with information on the detection mode helps differentiate low- from high-risk thymomas.

    BACKGROUND: Measurement of heart weight is important when investigating cause of death, but there is presently no satisfactory method of heart weight estimation by postmortem computed tomography (PMCT). METHOD: We investigated 33 consecutive cases that underwent both PMCT and autopsy between February 2008 and June 2014. Heart and left ventricular (LV) weights were calculated by PMCT morphometry. We used a simple method to estimate LV weight: We assumed that LV was an ellipsoid and multiplied its volume on PMCT with myocardial specific gravity. We then compared the various heart and LV weights using linear regression. The calculated and estimated LV weights on PMCT were also compared. RESULTS: It was not possible to predict heart weight at autopsy from PMCT (R2 = 0.53). However, heart weight at autopsy could be accurately predicted from LV weight calculated by PMCT (R2 = 0.77). In addition, there was a strong correlation between the estimated and calculated LV weights by PMCT (R2 = 0.92). Heart weight at autopsy could also be accurately predicted using the PMCT-estimated LV weight (R2 = 0.72). CONCLUSION: Heart weight at autopsy could be accurately predicted using a simple method in which LV volume was assumed to be an ellipsoid on PMCT.

    PURPOSE: To distinguish between adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS)-minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) and invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) showing pure or part-solid ground-glass nodules (GGNs) by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) texture analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included 101 consecutive patients with 115 pure or part-solid GGNs ≤ 3 cm diameter, which were surgically resected and pathologically diagnosed with AIS, MIA, or IAC (48 AIS-MIA and 67 IAC) between April 2011 and March 2015. Each tumor was manually segmented on axial CT images, and the following texture features were calculated: volume, mass, mean CT value, variance, skewness, kurtosis, entropy, uniformity, and percentile CT numbers (10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, 95th percentiles). The differences between AIS-MIA and IAC were statistically evaluated using univariate, multivariate, and receiver operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS: Compared with IAC, AIS-MIA had significantly greater skewness, kurtosis, and uniformity, whereas in the other parameters, AIS-MIA demonstrated significantly lower values than those of IAC. Multivariate analysis revealed that independent differentiators were the 90th percentile CT numbers (P < 0.001) and entropy (P = 0.005) with an excellent accuracy (area under the curve, 0.90). CONCLUSIONS: The 90th percentile CT numbers and entropy can accurately distinguish AIS-MIA from IAC.

    PURPOSE: To evaluate the capability to detect acute coronary syndrome (ACS) by using non-electrocardiogram-gated parenchymal phase CT imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Of 962 consecutive patients who underwent emergent coronary angiography for suspected ACS, 32 with ACS who underwent CT ≤24 h before angiography and 15 without ACS who underwent CT ≤24 h before or after angiography were included. Parenchymal phase was acquired at 100-s scan delay. The presence of a myocardial perfusion defect (MPD) on the left ventricle (a decrease of >20 HU) and its capability to detect ACS were evaluated. Results were compared with laboratory findings. RESULTS: MPD was detected in 29 of 32 ACSs. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were 91 % (29/32), 93 % (14/15), 97 % (29/30), and 82 % (14/17), respectively. The sensitivities of ST- and non-ST-elevation ACSs were 89 % (16/18) and 93 % (13/14), respectively, without significant difference (P > 0.99). Of the CT-detectable ACS, non-ST-elevation on the electrocardiogram and a normal creatine kinase-myocardial band were observed in 41 % (12/29) and 24 % (7/29), respectively. CONCLUSION: ACS is highly detectable even using conventional parenchymal phase CT imaging. Therefore, even when CT is non-gating, radiologists should carefully evaluate the heart to avoid overlooking ACS.

    PURPOSE: To evaluate the changes in splenic volume during hypovolemic shock and after recovery by use of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We investigated 22 cases who underwent MDCT during hypovolemic shock up to 3 h after presentation, compared the splenic volume with that after recovery, and evaluated the volume difference. We compared the volume ratio (recovery/shock) for two age groups: under 60 years (n = 10) and 60 years and over (n = 12). For cases (n = 10) undergoing CT examination twice after treatment, we compared the volume ratios by using the initial recovery CT and the second CT images. RESULTS: The average spleen volume in shock was 63 cm(3); under normal conditions it was 132 cm(3) (P < 0.001). The average volume ratio for groups under 60 years old was 2.34; for groups 60 years and over it was 2.05 (P = 0.051). The average volume ratio obtained by use of the initial post-recovery CT was 2.11; the ratio obtained by use of the second post-recovery CT was 2.16 (P = 0.386). CONCLUSIONS: Our results revealed that splenic volume was reduced during hypovolemic shock and rapidly increased after recovery. Splenic contraction is an important CT finding in shock.

    OBJECTIVES: To assess the prognostic value of combined evaluation of preoperative CT findings and pre/postoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels for pathological stage I lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS: This retrospective study included 250 consecutive patients who underwent complete resection for ≤ 3-cm pathological stage I (T1-2aN0M0) adenocarcinomas (132 men, 118 women; mean age, 67.8 years). Radiologists evaluated following CT findings: maximum tumor diameter, percentage of solid component (%solid), air bronchogram, spiculation, adjacency of bullae or interstitial pneumonia (IP) around the tumor, notch, and pleural indent. These CT findings, pre/postoperative CEA levels, age, gender, and Brinkman index were assessed by Cox proportional hazards model to determine the best prognostic model. Prognostic accuracy was examined using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). RESULTS: Median follow-up period was 73.2 months. In multivariate analysis, high %solid, adjacency of bullae or IP around the tumor, and high postoperative CEA levels comprised the best combination for predicting recurrence (P<0.05). A combination of these three findings had a greater accuracy in predicting 5-year disease-free survival than did %solid alone (AUC=0.853 versus 0.792; P=0.023), with a sensitivity of 85.7% and a specificity of 74.3% at the optimal threshold. The best cut-off values of %solid and postoperative CEA levels for predicting high-risk patients were ≥ 48% and ≥ 3.7 ng/mL, respectively. CONCLUSION: Compared to %solid alone, combined evaluation of %solid, adjacency of bullae or IP change around the tumor, and postoperative CEA levels improves recurrence prediction for stage I lung adenocarcinoma.

    PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine if lung perfusion blood volume (lung PBV) with non-occlusive pulmonary embolism (PE) differs quantitatively and visually from that with occlusive PE and to investigate if lung PBV with non-occlusive PE remains the same as that without PE. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Totally, 108 patients suspected of having acute PE underwent pulmonary dual-energy computed tomography angiography (DECTA) between April 2011 and January 2012. Presence of PE on DECTA was evaluated by one radiologist. Two radiologists visually evaluated the PE distribution (segmental or subsegmental) and its nature (occlusive or non-occlusive) on DECTA and classified perfusion in lung PBV as "decreased," "slightly decreased," and "preserved". Two radiologists used a lung PBV application to set a region of interest (ROI) in the center of the lesion and measured HU values of an iodine map. In the same slice as the ROI of the lesion and close to the lesion, another ROI was set in the normal perfusion area without PE, and HUs were measured. The proportion of lesions was compared between the occlusive and non-occlusive groups. HUs were compared among the occlusive, non-occlusive, and corresponding normal groups. RESULTS: Twenty-five patients had 80 segmental or subsegmental lesions. There were 37 and 43 lesions in the occlusive and non-occlusive groups, respectively. The proportion of decreased lesions was 73.0% (27/37) in the occlusive group, while that of preserved lesions in the non-occlusive group was 76.7% (33/43). There was a significant difference in the proportion of lesions (P<0.001) between the two groups. HUs of the iodine map were significantly higher in the non-occlusive group than in the occlusive group (33.8 ± 8.2 HU vs. 11.9 ± 6.1 HU, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in HUs for the entire lesion between the non-occlusive (33.8 ± 8.2 HU) and corresponding normal group (34.5 ± 6.8 HU; P=0.294). CONCLUSION: Iodine perfusion tended to be visually and quantitatively preserved in lungs with nonocclusive PE. Lung PBV is required to evaluate pulmonary blood flow.

    AIM: To assess the relationship between thin-section computed tomography (CT) features of primary tumour and high preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels that reportedly suggest poor prognoses in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two hundred and seventy-five consecutive patients who underwent resection of pathological stage I (T1-2aN0M0) adenocarcinomas with a maximum diameter of ≤ 3 cm (144 men, 131 women; mean age 67.8 years) were enrolled. CT features of the primary tumours and clinical characteristics of these patients were statistically evaluated to identify the factors associated with high serum CEA levels (>5 ng/ml). RESULTS: Eighty-one patients (29.5%) had high serum CEA levels. In univariate analysis, lower ground-glass opacity ratio (p < 0.001), lower tumour shadow disappearance rate (TDR: the ratio of tumour area in mediastinal window to that of lung window, p < 0.001), presence of notch (p = 0.015), and coexistence with bullae or honeycomb cysts (p < 0.001) were observed more frequently in the group with high serum CEA levels than that of the group with normal levels. TDR [odds ratio (OR) 0.984; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.976-0.993; p < 0.001] and coexistence with bullae or honeycomb cysts (OR = 3.08; 95% CI: 1.55-6.12; p = 0.001) remained significant, even after adjusting patients' age, gender, and smoking status. CONCLUSIONS: Adenocarcinomas with lower TDR and coexisting with bullae or honeycomb cysts are associated with high preoperative serum CEA levels. Although some CEA elevations may be due to benign pulmonary diseases, such tumours are suspected to have poor prognoses, even for early-stage diseases.

    すりガラス型結節は病理学的に肺腺癌の前浸潤性病変である異型腺腫様過形成や上皮内腺癌の可能性が高く、微少浸潤性腺癌、浸潤性病変へと緩徐に進行していくことが知られている。また、この病理学的な進行に対応する形で、CTでは結節の性状がすりガラス型結節から部分充実型結節、さらには充実型結節へと変化していくことが知られている。また、これらの経過を経ずに最初から進行した形での浸潤性腺癌として発症する症例も経験される。これらの肺腺癌の進行過程を踏まえ、研究代表者は研究分担者らとともに肺腺癌のCT所見に関する解説論文を発表した。本研究の主目的である10年~20年に及ぶすりガラス型結節の経過を予測するうえでCT所見と病理所見の対比は非常に重要である。その一方で、CT所見の視覚的評価には限界があることを踏まえ、本研究では、すりガラス型結節に重点を置いた定量的解析、radiomicsによる検討を今後行っていく予定である。Radiomicsは肺癌を含め、様々な画像評価において、現在も発展し続けている解析法であり、令和3年度には研究代表者は研究分担者らとともに肺腺癌のCT所見にradiomicsを応用して患者の予後や腫瘍の遺伝子変異との関連を検討し、その結果の一部を学会で報告した。これらの結果は肺腺癌のより早い段階にあることが推定されるすりガラス型結節の画像評価を行う上でも重要な示唆を与えてくれる。今後はすりガラス型結節に関してradiomicsで得られる特徴量および特徴量の変化と病理所見の関連性や、進行の可能性や進行速度に関する早期解明の可能性について明らかにしていく予定である。また、対象には腺癌以外のすりガラス型結節も加え、それらの鑑別診断の可能性について併せて検討することを予定している。

    本研究の目的は、肺癌予後予測における腫瘍周囲肺テクスチャ解析(定量画像解析)の有用性、および腫瘍テクスチャ解析に対する上乗せ効果を明らかにする事である。
    前年度は肺癌の予後因子であるEGFR遺伝子に着目し、CT画像からテクスチャ所見を大量に抽出するRadiomicsと呼ばれる評価法を用い、これによる遺伝子変異の予測能を評価した。その結果、腫瘍のRadiomics単独評価に比して、腫瘍周囲肺のRadiomicsを組み合わせる事で、EGFR遺伝子変異の予測能が向上する事を明らかとなった。
    今年度はこの研究成果をまとめて2022年3月に欧州放射線学会にて発表し、国際誌に論文投稿した。さらに今年度は、腫瘍周囲肺のRadiomicsが術後の予後予測にも有用であるかを検証した。研究対象は新潟大学病院で2015年から2018年までに外科的切除を受けた臨床病期0-IIBの非小細胞肺癌234例である。画像評価は胸部放射線科医1名が全例担当し、腫瘍内と腫瘍周囲肺から合計398個のテクスチャ所見を画像解析ソフトで抽出した。原病再発までの期間、原病死までの期間、全生存期間の3つをエンドポイントとし、機械学習(ランダムフォレスト)を用いて各エンドポイントの予測能を評価すると共に、予後予測に最も重要なテクスチャ所見を明らかにした。その結果、腫瘍内のRadiomics単独評価に比して、腫瘍周囲のRadiomics解析を含める事で、原病死と全生存率の予測能が有意に向上した。一方、原病再発については、腫瘍周囲のRadiomicsを加えても予測能に有意な変化はなかった。予後予測に最も重要な因子は腫瘍周囲のKurtosisであり、腫瘍周囲肺の不均一性が予後不良因子である可能性が示唆された。以上の研究結果は2022年4月に日本医学放射線学会総会にて発表予定である。
