摘要

Background and purpose

The study aimed to create a radiomics model based on breast intra- and peri-tumoral regions in dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI to distinguish benign from malignant breast lesions of Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 4.

Materials and methods

A total of 516 patients from Hospital 1 were assigned to the training cohort. Then, 146 and 52 patients were enrolled from Hospital 2 and 3, respectively, as the internal and external test cohort. Seven classification models were built, using features extracted from the intra- and peri-tumoral regions. Diagnostic performance was evaluated by receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis and compared by the DeLong test. Subgroup analysis was performed after stratifying all lesions by enhancement pattern and the subdivision of BI-RADS 4.

Results

The Comb2 model, built with features from peri-tumoral 2 mm and intra-tumoral region, demonstrated the best performance with AUCs of 0.828 and 0.844 in the internal and external test cohort, respectively. The Comb2 model was robust in both mass and non-mass enhancement (NME) lesions. At the three exploratory cutoff values on the ROC curve, the model identified 9.1% (sensitivity of C1 ≥ 98%), 27.3% (sensitivity of C2 ≥ 95%) and 36.4% (sensitivity of C3 ≥ 90%) of the benign lesions in the external test cohort. Applying the identified cutoff values in the external test cohort showed the potential to lower the number of unnecessary biopsies of benign lesions.

Conclusion

An MRI-based radiomics model built with features extracted from the intra-tumoral region combined with the peri-tumoral 2 mm showed the best potential to reduce false-positive diagnoses and may avoid unnecessary biopsies with a low underestimate risk.
