Biological and Radiological Dictionary of Radiomics Features: Addressing Understandable AI Issues in Personalized Prostate Cancer; Dictionary Version PM1.0
- 建立生物影像特征字典,统一医工沟通语言。
- 多序列融合+特征选择,准确率达78%,显著优于单一序列。
- 关键特征可解释,适合临床与AI协作开发可信模型。
本文研究PI-RADS中视觉语义特征与风险因素的关联,超越异常影像发现,通过构建标准化的生物/放射学影像特征(RFs)字典,建立医学与AI专业人员的共享框架。从T2WI、DWI和ADC多参数前列腺MRI序列分割病灶中,提取6个可解释与7个复杂分类器,并结合9种可解释特征选择算法(FSA),预测UCLA评分。最佳模型采用ANOVA F检验、相关系数、Fisher评分等FSA,结合逻辑回归,识别出关键特征:T2WI的90百分位值(反映癌症风险低信号)、T2WI方差(提示病灶异质性)、ADC的最小轴长与表面积体积比(描述形状与致密性)、以及ADC的运行熵(反映纹理一致性)。该方法平均准确率达0.78,显著优于单序列方法(p<0.05)。所建前列腺MRI字典(PM1.0)作为通用语言,促进临床与AI开发者协作,推动可信赖AI在临床决策中的应用。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We investigate the connection between visual semantic features defined in PI-RADS and associated risk factors, moving beyond abnormal imaging findings, establishing a shared framework between medical and AI professionals by creating a standardized dictionary of biological/radiological RFs. Subsequently, 6 interpretable and seven complex classifiers, linked with nine interpretable feature selection algorithms (FSA) applied to risk factors, were extracted from segmented lesions in T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) multiparametric-prostate MRI sequences to predict the UCLA scores. We then utilized the created dictionary to interpret the best-predictive models. Combining T2WI, DWI, and ADC with FSAs including ANOVA F-test, Correlation Coefficient, and Fisher Score, and utilizing logistic regression, identified key features: The 90th percentile from T2WI, which captures hypo-intensity related to prostate cancer risk; Variance from T2WI, indicating lesion heterogeneity; shape metrics including Least Axis Length and Surface Area to Volume ratio from ADC, describing lesion shape and compactness; and Run Entropy from ADC, reflecting texture consistency. This approach achieved the highest average accuracy of 0.78, significantly outperforming single-sequence methods (p-value<0.05). The developed dictionary for Prostate-MRI (PM1.0) serves as a common language, fosters collaboration between clinical professionals and AI developers to advance trustworthy AI solutions that support reliable/interpretable clinical decisions.
