Article Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the role of Delta Radiomics analysis in the prediction of one-year local control (1yLC) in patients affected by locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) and treated using Magnetic Resonance guided Radiotherapy (MRgRT). A total of 35 patients from two institutions were enrolled: A 0.35 Tesla T2*/T1 MR image was acquired for each case during simulation and on each treatment fraction. Physical dose was converted in biologically effective dose (BED) to compensate for different radiotherapy schemes. Delta Radiomics analysis was performed considering the gross tumour volume (GTV) delineated on MR images acquired at BED of 20, 40, and 60 Gy. The performance of the delta features in predicting 1yLC was investigated in terms of Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney test and area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC). The most significant feature in predicting 1yLC was the variation of cluster shade calculated at BED = 40 Gy, with a -value of 0.005 and an AUC of 0.78 (0.61-0.94). Delta Radiomics analysis on low-field MR images might play a promising role in 1yLC prediction for LAPC patients: further studies including an external validation dataset and a larger cohort of patients are recommended to confirm the validity of this preliminary experience.

Multiphase MRI-Derived Delta radiomics integrated with clinical features for survival prediction in hepatocellular carcinoma after thermal ablation.

Eur J Radiol

August 2025

Department of Radiology, Huaihe Hospital, Henan University, No. 8 Baobei Road, Gulou District, Kaifeng City 475000 Henan province, China.

Rationale And Objectives: To evaluate the predictive value of a delta radiomic score (DRS)derived from multiphase contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), in combination with clinical characteristics, forecasting overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after thermal ablation.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 415 patients with HCC from two centers who underwent multiphase contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and percutaneous thermal ablation. Patients in Institution 1 (n = 315) were randomly assigned to the training cohorts (n = 220) and internal tests (n = 95), while 100 patients in Institution 2 formed the external validation cohort.

Radiomics analysis of contrast-free synthetic MRI and apparent diffusion coefficient for early predicting neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in breast cancer.

Objectives: To investigate the value of the radiomics features extracted from the contrast-free synthetic MRI (SyMRI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in the early prediction of treatment response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer.

Methods: 267 breast cancer patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) before surgery were prospectively enrolled and divided into the training cohort (n = 145), validation cohort (n = 62) and test cohort (n = 60) in a chronological order. All patients underwent breast MRI with SyMRI and Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) before (pre-) and after the first cycle (1st-) of NAC.

Background And Aims: Breast cancer remains the most common cancer among women globally, with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) serving as a critical pre-surgical intervention. Ultrasound-based radiomics and machine learning (ML) models offer potential for early prediction of NAC response, aiding personalized treatment strategies. This study systematically reviews the efficacy of ultrasound-based ML models in predicting NAC response in breast cancer patients.

Background: This study aimed to develop and validate a multi-temporal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based delta-radiomics model to accurately predict severe acute radiation enteritis risk in patients undergoing total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data from 92 patients with LARC who received TNT. All patients underwent pelvic MRI at baseline (pre-treatment) and after neoadjuvant radiotherapy (post-RT).

BackgroundTraditional dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) radiomics approaches for predicting lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in invasive breast cancer (IBC) frequently neglect the importance of dynamic phase alterations, and their diagnostic efficacy is often constrained by limited sample sizes. We have developed the Tabular Prior-data Fitted Network (TabPFN) algorithm, which synergistically combines clinical and MR morphological features with delta-radiomics, thereby substantially improving the performance of binary classification.MethodIn this retrospective study, 276 IBC patients were divided into a training group (n = 193, 70%) and a validation set (n = 83, 30%).
