Radiological and Biological Dictionary of Radiomics Features: Addressing Understandable AI Issues in Personalized Breast Cancer; Dictionary Version BM1.0
- 用专家和文献映射56个放射组学特征到BI-RADS描述词
- 模型在1549例数据上达0.83准确率,发现圆形度高、增强均质性好与TNBC相关
- 适合关注AI可解释性、乳腺癌精准诊断的研究者和临床医生
基于放射组学的AI模型在乳腺癌诊断中展现潜力,但常缺乏可解释性,限制临床应用。本研究通过提出双字典框架,弥合放射组学特征(RF)与标准化BI-RADS术语之间的鸿沟。首先,通过文献和专家评审,将56个RF映射至BI-RADS描述词(形态、边界、内部强化),构建临床引导特征解释字典(CIFID)。该框架应用于多中心1549例患者的动态对比增强MRI数据,分类三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)与非TNBC,采用27种机器学习分类器和27种特征选择方法。使用SHAP解释预测,生成包含52个额外RF的数据驱动特征解释字典(DDFID)。最佳模型结合方差膨胀因子(VIF)选择与极端梯度提升分类器,在交叉验证中平均准确率达0.83。关键预测特征与临床知识一致:较高球形度(圆形/椭圆形)和较低忙乱度(更均质强化)与TNBC相关。该框架验证了已知影像生物标志物,并发现新型可解释关联。双字典方法(BM1.0)提升了AI模型透明度,支持放射组学特征融入常规乳腺癌诊疗与个性化医疗。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Radiomics-based AI models show promise for breast cancer diagnosis but often lack interpretability, limiting clinical adoption. This study addresses the gap between radiomic features (RF) and the standardized BI-RADS lexicon by proposing a dual-dictionary framework. First, a Clinically-Informed Feature Interpretation Dictionary (CIFID) was created by mapping 56 RFs to BI-RADS descriptors (shape, margin, internal enhancement) through literature and expert review. The framework was applied to classify triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) versus non-TNBC using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI from a multi-institutional cohort of 1,549 patients. We trained 27 machine learning classifiers with 27 feature selection methods. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) were used to interpret predictions and generate a complementary Data-Driven Feature Interpretation Dictionary (DDFID) for 52 additional RFs. The best model, combining Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) selection with Extra Trees Classifier, achieved an average cross-validation accuracy of 0.83. Key predictive RFs aligned with clinical knowledge: higher Sphericity (round/oval shape) and lower Busyness (more homogeneous enhancement) were associated with TNBC. The framework confirmed known imaging biomarkers and uncovered novel, interpretable associations. This dual-dictionary approach (BM1.0) enhances AI model transparency and supports the integration of RFs into routine breast cancer diagnosis and personalized care.
