Article Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the utility of radiomics features of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) to differentiate fat-poor angiomyolipoma (fpAML) from clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Materials And Methods: This multi-institutional study included two cohorts with pathologically confirmed renal tumors: 65 patients with ccRCC and 18 with fpAML in the model development cohort, and 17 with ccRCC and 13 with fpAML in the external validation cohort. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) including DW-MRI. Radiomics analysis was used to extract 39 imaging features from the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map. The radiomics features were analyzed with unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis. A random forest (RF) model was used to identify radiomics features important for differentiating fpAML from ccRCC in the development cohort. The diagnostic performance of the RF model was evaluated in the development and validation cohorts.
Results: The cases in the developmental cohort were classified into three groups with different frequencies of fpAML by cluster analysis of radiomics features. RF analysis of the development cohort showed that the mean ADC value was important for differentiating fpAML from ccRCC, as well as higher-texture features including gray-level run length matrix (GLRLM)_long-run low gray-level enhancement (LRLGE), and GLRLM_low gray-level run emphasis (LGRE). The area under the curve values of the development [0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.80-1.00] and validation cohorts (0.87, 95% CI 0.74-1.00) were similar (P = 0.91).
Conclusion: The radiomics features of ADC maps are useful for differentiating fpAML from ccRCC.

Purpose: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has transformed outcomes for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and has impacted the timing and use of cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN). As ICB responses vary, we evaluated whether radiographic and radiomic biomarkers were associated with clinical and pathological outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included ICB-treated mRCC patients without upfront CN.

In radiomics, feature selection methods are primarily used to eliminate redundant features and identify relevant ones. Feature projection methods, such as principal component analysis (PCA), are often avoided due to concerns that recombining features may compromise interpretability. However, since most radiomic features lack inherent semantic meaning, prioritizing interpretability over predictive performance may not be justified.

Objective: In this retrospective study, authors aimed to evaluate the glymphatic function alterations associated with glioma and explore the prognostic value of these alterations by calculating the index for diffusivity along the perivascular space (ALPS index).
Methods: The authors utilized data from the publicly available University of California San Francisco Preoperative Diffuse Glioma MRI (UCSF-PDGM) dataset, which includes 501 adult patients with histopathologically confirmed diffuse glioma, per the 2021 WHO classification, who underwent preoperative MRI, initial tumor resection, and tumor genetic testing at a single medical center from 2015 to 2021.The ALPS index was calculated from diffusivity maps for noninvasive glymphatic system (GS) analysis.
