Amide proton transfer-weighted imaging and T1 mapping as diagnostic tools to evaluate high-risk histopathologic phenotypes before surgery in rectal adenocarcinoma and their correla... by Yaxin Chai, Yaxin Chai, Yongchao Niu, Ruixue Cheng, Pan Liang, Jianbo Gao

“…The measured parameters included APT signal intensity (APT SI), T1 relaxation time before (native T1) and after (post-contrast T1) enhancement, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate diagnostic efficiency, and Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between parameters with Ki-67, respectively.ResultsAPT SI values were significantly different between the mucinous adenocarcinoma (MC) group and the common adenocarcinoma (AC) group in two centers (center 1: [2.64 ± 0.33%] vs. [2.22 ± 0.78%], P<0.05), (center 2: [3.27 ± 0.80%] vs. [2.59 ± 0.77%], P<0.05). …”

Combining multi-parametric MRI radiomics features with tumor abnormal protein to construct a machine learning-based predictive model for prostate cancer by Chi Zhang, Zewen Wang, Peicheng Shang, Yibin Zhou, Jin Zhu, Lijun Xu, Zeyu Chen, Mengqi Yu, Yachen Zang

“…Radiomic features were meticulously extracted from T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps. Feature selection was performed using t-tests and the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression, followed by model construction using the random forest algorithm. …”
