Multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging radiomics combined with imaging features predicts the difficulty of HIFU treatment of uterine fibroids

Abstract To establish a multivariate linear regression model for predicting the difficulty of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of uterine fibroids based on multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging radiomics features. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 218 patients with uteri...

description Abstract To establish a multivariate linear regression model for predicting the difficulty of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of uterine fibroids based on multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging radiomics features. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 218 patients with uterine fibroids who underwent HIFU treatment, including 178 cases from Yongchuan Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and 40 cases from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (external validation set). Radiomics features were extracted and selected from magnetic resonance images, and potentially related imaging features were collected. The energy efficiency factor (EEF) was used as the dependent variable. Imaging models, radiomics models, and joint models were established using a stepwise approach. The model with the highest R2 value was selected for external validation. The R2 value of the combined model was 0.642, higher than that of other models. Spearman correlation analysis showed a correlation coefficient of R = 0.824 (P < 0.001) between predicted EEF and actual EEF. External validation yielded a correlation coefficient of R = 0.645 (P < 0.001). A model for predicting EEF has been developed, which is clinically important for predicting the difficulty of HIFU treatment of uterine fibroids.
