Multi-parametric MRI-based radiomics for preoperative prediction of multiple biological characteristics in endometrial cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Purpose To develop and validate multi-parametric MRI (MP-MRI)-based radiomics models for the prediction of biological characteristics in endometrial cancer (EC). Methods A total of 292 patients with EC were divided into LVSI (n = 208), DMI (n = 292), MSI (n = 95), and Her-2 (n = 198) subsets. Total 2316 radiomics features were extracted from MP-MRI (T2WI, DWI, and ADC) images, and clinical factors (age, FIGO stage, differentiation degree, pathological type, menopausal state, and irregular vaginal bleeding) were included. Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), spearman’s rank correlation test, univariate logistic regression, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) were used to select radiomics features; univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify clinical independent risk factors. Five classifiers were applied (logistic regression, random forest, decision tree, K-nearest neighbor, and Bayes) to construct radiomics models for predicting biological characteristics. The clinical model was built based on the clinical independent risk factors. The combined model incorporating the radiomics score (radscore) and the clinical independent risk factors was constructed. The model was evaluated by ROC curve, calibration curve (H-L test), and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results In the training cohort, the RF radiomics model performed best among the five classifiers for the three subsets (MSI, LVSI, and DMI) according to AUC values (AUCMSI: 0.844; AUCLVSI: 0.952; AUCDMI: 0.840) except for Her-2 subset (Decision tree: AUC=0.714), and the combined model had higher AUC than the clinical model in each subset (MSI: AUCcombined =0.907, AUCclinical =0.755; LVSI: AUCcombined =0.959, AUCclinical =0.835; DMI: AUCcombined = 0.883, AUCclinical =0.796; Her-2: AUCcombined =0.812, AUCclinical =0.717; all P<0.05). Nevertheless, in the validation cohort, significant differences between the two models (combined vs. clinical model) were found only in the DMI and LVSI subsets (DMI: AUCcombined =0.803, AUCclinical =0.698; LVSI: AUCcombined =0.926, AUCclinical =0.796; all P<0.05). Conclusion The radiomics analysis based on MP-MRI and clinical independent risk factors can potentially predict multiple biological features of EC, including DMI, LVSI, MSI, and Her-2, and provide valuable guidance for clinical decision-making.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
