  • 基于多中心数据构建稳定性评估框架,筛选可靠机器学习模型
  • 跨中心测试准确率平均达93%,部分数据集超98%
  • 提供可复现的AI建模模板,适合医学影像领域研究者

钆基对比剂(GBCAs)在胶质瘤成像中至关重要,但存在安全、成本和可及性问题。通过机器学习从非增强MRI预测增强效果,可提供更安全的替代方案,因增强程度反映肿瘤侵袭性并指导治疗。然而扫描仪和队列差异导致模型泛化困难。本文提出一种稳定性感知框架,用于识别多中心预测胶质瘤MRI增强效果的可重复性机器学习流程。分析了来自四个TCIA数据集(UCSF-PDGM、UPENN-GB、BRATS-Africa、BRATS-TCGA-LGG)共1,446例胶质瘤病例,以非增强T1WI为输入,增强信息来自配对的增强T1WI。采用PyRadiomics按IBSI标准提取108个特征,结合48种降维方法与25种分类器,生成1,200种模型组合。使用旋转验证:在三个数据集上训练,在第四个上测试。交叉验证准确率在0.91至0.96之间,外部测试准确率分别为0.87(UCSF-PDGM)、0.98(UPENN-GB)、0.95(BRATS-Africa),平均为0.93。F1、精确率和召回率稳定(0.87至0.96),而ROC-AUC波动较大(0.50至0.82),反映队列异质性。MI与ETr联合的管道始终排名第一,兼顾准确率与稳定性。该框架表明,稳定性感知模型选择可实现非增强MRI对胶质瘤增强效果的可靠预测,降低对GBCAs的依赖,并提升跨中心泛化能力。其模式可推广至神经肿瘤学及其他领域。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are central to glioma imaging but raise safety, cost, and accessibility concerns. Predicting contrast enhancement from non-contrast MRI using machine learning (ML) offers a safer alternative, as enhancement reflects tumor aggressiveness and informs treatment planning. Yet scanner and cohort variability hinder robust model selection. We propose a stability-aware framework to identify reproducible ML pipelines for multicenter prediction of glioma MRI contrast enhancement. We analyzed 1,446 glioma cases from four TCIA datasets (UCSF-PDGM, UPENN-GB, BRATS-Africa, BRATS-TCGA-LGG). Non-contrast T1WI served as input, with enhancement derived from paired post-contrast T1WI. Using PyRadiomics under IBSI standards, 108 features were extracted and combined with 48 dimensionality reduction methods and 25 classifiers, yielding 1,200 pipelines. Rotational validation was trained on three datasets and tested on the fourth. Cross-validation prediction accuracies ranged from 0.91 to 0.96, with external testing achieving 0.87 (UCSF-PDGM), 0.98 (UPENN-GB), and 0.95 (BRATS-Africa), with an average of 0.93. F1, precision, and recall were stable (0.87 to 0.96), while ROC-AUC varied more widely (0.50 to 0.82), reflecting cohort heterogeneity. The MI linked with ETr pipeline consistently ranked highest, balancing accuracy and stability. This framework demonstrates that stability-aware model selection enables reliable prediction of contrast enhancement from non-contrast glioma MRI, reducing reliance on GBCAs and improving generalizability across centers. It provides a scalable template for reproducible ML in neuro-oncology and beyond.
