    Abstract: Glioblastoma is extremely infiltrative with malignant cells extending beyond the enhancing rim where recurrence inevitably occurs, despite aggressive multimodal therapy. We hypothesize that important characteristics of peritumoral tissue heterogeneity captured and analyzed by multi-parametric MRI and artificial intelligence (AI) methods are generalizable in the updated multi-institutional ReSPOND (Radiomics Signatures for PrecisiON Diagnostics) consortium and predictive of neoplastic infiltration and future recurrence. METHODS We used the most recent update of the ReSPOND consortium to evaluate and further refine generalizability of our methods with different scanners and acquisition settings. 179 de novo glioblastoma patients with available T1, T1Gd, T2, T2-FLAIR, and ADC sequences at pre-resection baseline and after complete resection with subsequent pathology-confirmed recurrence were included. To establish generalizability of the predictive models, training and testing of the refined AI model was performed through Leave-One-Institution-Out-Cross-Validation schema. The multi-institutional cohort consisted of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn, 124), Case Western Reserve University/University Hospitals (CWRU/UH, 27), New York University (NYU, 13), Ohio State University (OSU, 13), and University Hospital Río Hortega (RH, 2). Features extracted from pre-resection MRI were used to build the model predicting the spatial pattern of subsequent tumor recurrence. These predictions were evaluated against regions of pathology-confirmed post-resection recurrence. RESULTS Our model predicted the locations that later harbored tumor recurrence with overall odds ratio (99% CI)/AUC (99% CI), 12.0(11.8-12.2)/0.80(0.76-0.85), and per institute, CWRU/UH, 11.0(10.7-11.3)/0.80 (0.64-0.97); NYU, 7.0(6.7-7.3)/0.78(0.56-1.00); OSU, 18.3(17.5-19.1)/0.83(0.54-1.00); RH, 40.0(35.3-45.5)/0.93(0.00-1.00); UPenn, 8.00(7.7-8.3)/0.80(0.75-0.84). CONCLUSION This study provides extensive multi-institutional validated evidence that machine learning tools can identify peritumoral neoplastic infiltration and predict location of future recurrence, by decrypting the MRI signal heterogeneity in peritumoral tissue. Our analyses leveraged the unique dataset of the ReSPOND consortium, which aims to develop and validate AI-based biomarkers for individualized prediction and prognostication and establish generalizability in a multi-institutional setting.

    Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to improve diagnostic methods in neuro-oncologic imaging and contribute to patient management by analyzing pre-operative MRI scans. AI results are better interpreted by compartmentalizing glioblastoma into distinct sub-regions, i.e., necrotic core, enhancing tumor, peritumoral T2/FLAIR signal abnormality (ED). Manual delineation of these sub-regions by expert neuroradiologists is impractical, requiring hours for intricate cases. Computer-aided segmentation (CAS) can mitigate this issue but is limited in the quality of the produced segmentations. We hypothesize that CAS followed by expert refinements is more practical/time-efficient. METHODS CAS was used on a total of 359 glioblastoma patients with four MRI sequences (T1, T1Gd, T2, T2-FLAIR) from each patient. All segmentations were sent to expert neuroradiologist annotators for manual refinements. Once refined, our team including two senior attending neuroradiologists with ≥13 years of experience each, reviewed and either approved or returned the segmentations to individual annotators for further refinements. Total time required to refine and review the finalized segmentations was measured. RESULTS Following one round of refinements by expert annotators, 244/359 (68%) segmentations were approved by our team while 115/359 (32%) segmentations contained a variety of errors that required a second round of refinements. The most common observed errors were 1) missed ED in the anterior/inferior temporal lobes and corpus callosum (37/115 cases, 32%) and 2) erroneous segmentation of normal choroid plexus and blood vessels (14/115 cases, 12%). The expert annotators required 120 hours to refine all 359 segmentations, and our team required 26 additional hours to review them, resulting in 24 minutes/segmentation following CAS. CONCLUSION Our findings support the value of a well-communicated annotation protocol to coordinate CAS and expert annotators. With CAS, our team and expert annotators rapidly finalized segmentations for 359 glioblastoma patients, demonstrating the value of a synergistic approach to creating high quality tumor sub-region segmentations.

    Abstract: Glioblastoma is the most common aggressive adult brain tumor. Numerous studies have reported results from either private institutional data or publicly available datasets. However, current public datasets are limited in terms of: a) number of subjects, b) lack of consistent acquisition protocol, c) data quality, or d) accompanying clinical, demographic, and molecular information. Toward alleviating these limitations, we contribute the “University of Pennsylvania Glioblastoma Imaging, Genomics, and Radiomics” (UPenn-GBM) dataset, which describes the currently largest publicly available comprehensive collection of 630 patients diagnosed with de novo glioblastoma. The UPenn-GBM dataset includes (a) advanced multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging scans acquired during routine clinical practice, at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, (b) accompanying clinical, demographic, and molecular information, (d) perfusion and diffusion derivative volumes, (e) computationally-derived and manually-revised expert annotations of tumor sub-regions, as well as (f) quantitative imaging (also known as radiomic) features corresponding to each of these regions. This collection describes our contribution towards repeatable, reproducible, and comparative quantitative studies leading to new predictive, prognostic, and diagnostic assessments.

    Abstract: Skin cancer is a serious condition that requires accurate diagnosis and treatment. One way to assist clinicians in this task is using computer-aided diagnosis tools that automatically segment skin lesions from dermoscopic images. We propose a novel adversarial learning-based framework called Efficient-GAN (EGAN) that uses an unsupervised generative network to generate accurate lesion masks. It consists of a generator module with a top-down squeeze excitation-based compound scaled path, an asymmetric lateral connection-based bottom-up path, and a discriminator module that distinguishes between original and synthetic masks. A morphology-based smoothing loss is also implemented to encourage the network to create smooth semantic boundaries of lesions. The framework is evaluated on the International Skin Imaging Collaboration Lesion Dataset. It outperforms the current state-of-the-art skin lesion segmentation approaches with a Dice coefficient, Jaccard similarity, and accuracy of 90.1%, 83.6%, and 94.5%, respectively. We also design a lightweight segmentation framework called Mobile-GAN (MGAN) that achieves comparable performance as EGAN but with an order of magnitude lower number of training parameters, thus resulting in faster inference times for low compute resource settings.

    Abstract: Deep Learning (DL) has the potential to optimize machine learning in both the scientific and clinical communities. However, greater expertise is required to develop DL algorithms, and the variability of implementations hinders their reproducibility, translation, and deployment. Here we present the community-driven Generally Nuanced Deep Learning Framework (GaNDLF), with the goal of lowering these barriers. GaNDLF makes the mechanism of DL development, training, and inference more stable, reproducible, interpretable, and scalable, without requiring an extensive technical background. GaNDLF aims to provide an end-to-end solution for all DL-related tasks in computational precision medicine. We demonstrate the ability of GaNDLF to analyze both radiology and histology images, with built-in support for k -fold cross-validation, data augmentation, multiple modalities and output classes. Our quantitative performance evaluation on numerous use cases, anatomies, and computational tasks supports GaNDLF as a robust application framework for deployment in clinical workflows.

    Abstract: Deep learning (DL) models have provided the state-of-the-art performance in a wide variety of medical imaging benchmarking challenges, including the Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) challenges. However, the task of focal pathology multi-compartment segmentation (e.g., tumor and lesion sub-regions) is particularly challenging, and potential errors hinder the translation of DL models into clinical workflows. Quantifying the reliability of DL model predictions in the form of uncertainties, could enable clinical review of the most uncertain regions, thereby building trust and paving the way towards clinical translation. Recently, a number of uncertainty estimation methods have been introduced for DL medical image segmentation tasks. Developing scores to evaluate and compare the performance of uncertainty measures will assist the end-user in making more informed decisions. In this study, we explore and evaluate a score developed during the BraTS 2019-2020 task on uncertainty quantification (QU-BraTS), and designed to assess and rank uncertainty estimates for brain tumor multi-compartment segmentation. This score (1) rewards uncertainty estimates that produce high confidence in correct assertions, and those that assign low confidence levels at incorrect assertions, and (2) penalizes uncertainty measures that lead to a higher percentages of under-confident correct assertions. We further benchmark the segmentation uncertainties generated by 14 independent participating teams of QU-BraTS 2020, all of which also participated in the main BraTS segmentation task. Overall, our findings confirm the importance and complementary value that uncertainty estimates provide to segmentation algorithms, and hence highlight the need for uncertainty quantification in medical image analyses.

    Abstract: Multi-parametric MRI based radiomic signatures have highlighted the promise of artificial intelligence (AI) in neuro-oncology. However, inter-institution heterogeneity hinders generalization to data from unseen clinical institutions. To this end, we formulated the ReSPOND (Radiomics Signatures for PrecisiON Diagnostics) consortium for glioblastoma. Here, we seek non-invasive generalizable radiomic signatures from routine clinically-acquired MRI for prognostic stratification of glioblastoma patients. METHODS We identified a retrospective cohort of 606 patients with near/gross total tumor resection ( & gt;90%), from 13 geographically-diverse institutions. All pre-operative structural MRI scans (T1,T1-Gd,T2,T2-FLAIR) were aligned to a common anatomical atlas. An automatic algorithm segmented the whole tumors (WTs) into 3 sub-compartments, i.e., enhancing (ET), necrotic core (NC), and peritumoral T2-FLAIR signal abnormality (ED). The combination of ET+NC defines the tumor core (TC). Quantitative radiomic features were extracted to generate our AI model to stratify patients into short- ( & lt; 14mts) and long-survivors ( & gt;14mts). The model trained on 276 patients from a single institution was independently validated on 330 unseen patients from 12 left-out institutions, using the area-under-the-receiver-operating-characteristic-curve (AUC). RESULTS Each feature individually offered certain (limited but reproducible) value for identifying short-survivors: 1) TC closer to lateral ventricles (AUC=0.62); 2) larger ET/brain (AUC=0.61); 3) larger TC/brain (AUC=0.59); 4) larger WT/brain (AUC=0.55); 5) larger ET/WT (AUC=0.59); 6) smaller ED/WT (AUC=0.57); 7) larger ventricle deformations (AUC=0.6). Integrating all features and age, through a multivariate AI model, resulted in higher accuracy (AUC=0.7; 95% C.I.,0.64-0.77). CONCLUSION Prognostic stratification using basic radiomic features is highly reproducible across diverse institutions and patient populations. Multivariate integration yields relatively more accurate and generalizable radiomic signatures, across institutions. Our results offer promise for generalizable non-invasive in vivo signatures of survival prediction in patients with glioblastoma. Extracted features from clinically-acquired imaging, renders these signatures easier for clinical translation. Large-scale evaluation could contribute to improving patient management and treatment planning. *Indicates equal authorship.
