Summary: | Purpose
This is a radiomics study investigating the ability of texture analysis of MRF maps to improve differentiation between intra-axial adult brain tumors and to predict survival in the glioblastoma cohort.
Methods
Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) acquisition was performed on 31 patients across 3 groups: 17 glioblastomas, 6 low-grade gliomas, and 8 metastases. Using regions of interest for the solid tumor and peritumoral white matter on T1 and T2 maps, second-order texture features were calculated from gray-level co-occurrence matrices and gray-level run length matrices. Selected features were compared across the three tumor groups using Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed for each feature. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis with log rank tests.
Results
Low-grade gliomas and glioblastomas had significantly higher run percentage, run entropy, and information measure of correlation 1 on T1 than metastases (
