Abstract:
Objective:To establish a clinical radiomics nomogram based on thin-section CT images to evaluate its clinical value for identifying benign and malignant pulmonary nodules.Methods:Pulmonary nodules undergoing thin-layer CT examination and pathologically confirmed between March 2018 and September 2020.There were 139 patients (65 benign and 74 malignant).Imaging histological features were extracted from the chest CT images of each patient.Data were downscaled using minimum absolute shrinkage and lasso regression to select useful features and construct an imaging histology feature model.Multiple logistic regression combined independent clinical risk factors with building imaging histology column line graphs.The accuracy and diagnostic efficacy of the column line graphs were evaluated in the training set and validated in the validation set.Finally,the clinical application value of the column line graphs was evaluated by decision curve analysis.Results:The traditional image feature model had poor diagnostic efficacy for benign and malignant pulmonary nodules in the training set (AUC=0.86,95%CI 0.79~0.93),validation set (AUC=0.79,95%CI 0.65~0.93).The hybrid model had poor diagnostic efficacy for benign and malignant pulmonary nodules in the training set (AUC=0.94,95%CI 0.90~0.99),validation set (AUC=0.94,95%CI 0.88~1.00) showed better discriminatory efficacy and pathological compliance,and the decision curves indicated that the inclusion of imaging histology was beneficial for patient prognosis.Conclusion:Clinical imaging radiomics nomogram line drawings based on thin-section CT images can facilitate accurate determination of the risk of malignancy of pulmonary nodules.
