    Abstract: Although machine learning (ML) has shown promise across disciplines, out-of-sample generalizability is concerning. This is currently addressed by sharing multi-site data, but such centralization is challenging/infeasible to scale due to various limitations. Federated ML (FL) provides an alternative paradigm for accurate and generalizable ML, by only sharing numerical model updates. Here we present the largest FL study to-date, involving data from 71 sites across 6 continents, to generate an automatic tumor boundary detector for the rare disease of glioblastoma, reporting the largest such dataset in the literature ( n  = 6, 314). We demonstrate a 33% delineation improvement for the surgically targetable tumor, and 23% for the complete tumor extent, over a publicly trained model. We anticipate our study to: 1) enable more healthcare studies informed by large diverse data, ensuring meaningful results for rare diseases and underrepresented populations, 2) facilitate further analyses for glioblastoma by releasing our consensus model, and 3) demonstrate the FL effectiveness at such scale and task-complexity as a paradigm shift for multi-site collaborations, alleviating the need for data-sharing.

    Abstract: Histopathologic assessment routinely provides rich microscopic information about tissue structure and disease process. However, the sections used are very thin, and essentially capture only 2D representations of a certain tissue sample. Accurate and robust alignment of sequentially cut 2D slices should contribute to more comprehensive assessment accounting for surrounding 3D information. Towards this end, we here propose a two-step diffeomorphic registration approach that aligns differently stained histology slides to each other, starting with an initial affine step followed by estimating a deformation field. It was quantitatively evaluated on ample (n = 481) and diverse data from the automatic non-rigid histological image registration challenge, where it was awarded the second rank. The obtained results demonstrate the ability of the proposed approach to robustly (average robustness = 0.9898) and accurately (average relative target registration error = 0.2%) align differently stained histology slices of various anatomical sites while maintaining reasonable computational efficiency ( 〈 1 min per registration). The method was developed by adapting a general-purpose registration algorithm designed for 3D radiographic scans and achieved consistently accurate results for aligning high-resolution 2D histologic images. Accurate alignment of histologic images can contribute to a better understanding of the spatial arrangement and growth patterns of cells, vessels, matrix, nerves, and immune cell interactions.

    Abstract: We seek the development and evaluation of a fast, accurate, and consistent method for general-purpose segmentation, based on interactive machine learning (IML). To validate our method, we identified retrospective cohorts of 20 brain, 50 breast, and 50 lung cancer patients, as well as 20 spleen scans, with corresponding ground truth annotations. Utilizing very brief user training annotations and the adaptive geodesic distance transform, an ensemble of SVMs is trained, providing a patient-specific model applied to the whole image. Two experts segmented each cohort twice with our method and twice manually. The IML method was faster than manual annotation by 53.1% on average. We found significant (p 〈 0.001) overlap difference for spleen (DiceIML/DiceManual = 0.91/0.87), breast tumors (DiceIML/DiceManual = 0.84/0.82), and lung nodules (DiceIML/DiceManual = 0.78/0.83). For intra-rater consistency, a significant (p = 0.003) difference was found for spleen (DiceIML/DiceManual = 0.91/0.89). For inter-rater consistency, significant (p 〈 0.045) differences were found for spleen (DiceIML/DiceManual = 0.91/0.87), breast (DiceIML/DiceManual = 0.86/0.81), lung (DiceIML/DiceManual = 0.85/0.89), the non-enhancing (DiceIML/DiceManual = 0.79/0.67) and the enhancing (DiceIML/DiceManual = 0.79/0.84) brain tumor sub-regions, which, in aggregation, favored our method. Quantitative evaluation for speed, spatial overlap, and consistency, reveals the benefits of our proposed method when compared with manual annotation, for several clinically relevant problems. We publicly release our implementation through CaPTk (Cancer Imaging Phenomics Toolkit) and as an MITK plugin.

    Abstract: Gliomas represent a biologically heterogeneous group of primary brain tumors with uncontrolled cellular proliferation and diffuse infiltration that renders them almost incurable, thereby leading to a grim prognosis. Recent comprehensive genomic profiling has greatly elucidated the molecular hallmarks of gliomas, including the mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2), loss of chromosomes 1p and 19q (1p/19q), and epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII). Detection of these molecular alterations is based on ex vivo analysis of surgically resected tissue specimen that sometimes is not adequate for testing and/or does not capture the spatial tumor heterogeneity of the neoplasm. Methods We developed a method for noninvasive detection of radiogenomic markers of IDH both in lower-grade gliomas (WHO grade II and III tumors) and glioblastoma (WHO grade IV), 1p/19q in IDH-mutant lower-grade gliomas, and EGFRvIII in glioblastoma. Preoperative MRIs of 473 glioma patients from 3 of the studies participating in the ReSPOND consortium (collection I: Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania [HUP: n = 248], collection II: The Cancer Imaging Archive [TCIA; n = 192] , and collection III: Ohio Brain Tumor Study [OBTS, n = 33]) were collected. Neuro-Cancer Imaging Phenomics Toolkit (neuro-CaPTk), a modular platform available for cancer imaging analytics and machine learning, was leveraged to extract histogram, shape, anatomical, and texture features from delineated tumor subregions and to integrate these features using support vector machine to generate models predictive of IDH, 1p/19q, and EGFRvIII. The models were validated using 3 configurations: (1) 70–30% training–testing splits or 10-fold cross-validation within individual collections, (2) 70–30% training–testing splits within merged collections, and (3) training on one collection and testing on another. Results These models achieved a classification accuracy of 86.74% (HUP), 85.45% (TCIA), and 75.15% (TCIA) in identifying EGFRvIII, IDH, and 1p/19q, respectively, in configuration I. The model, when applied on combined data in configuration II, yielded a classification success rate of 82.50% in predicting IDH mutation (HUP + TCIA + OBTS). The model when trained on TCIA dataset yielded classification accuracy of 84.88% in predicting IDH in HUP dataset. Conclusions Using machine learning algorithms, high accuracy was achieved in the prediction of IDH, 1p/19q, and EGFRvIII mutation. Neuro-CaPTk encompasses all the pipelines required to replicate these analyses in multi-institutional settings and could also be used for other radio(geno)mic analyses.

    Abstract: Glioblastomas are arguably the most aggressive, infiltrative, and heterogeneous adult brain tumor. Biophysical modeling of glioblastoma growth has shown its predictive value towards clinical endpoints, enabling more informed decision-making. However, the mathematically rigorous formulations of biophysical modeling come with a large computational footprint, hindering their application to clinical studies. METHODS We present a deep learning (DL)-based logistical regression model, to estimate in seconds glioblastoma biophysical growth, defined through three tumor-specific parameters: 1) diffusion coefficient of white matter (Dw), which describes how easily the tumor can infiltrate through the white matter, 2) mass-effect parameter (Mp), which defines the average tumor expansion, and 3) estimated time (T) in number of days that the tumor has been growing. Pre-operative multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) structural scans (T1, T1-Gd, T1, T2-FLAIR) from 135 subjects of the TCGA-GBM imaging collection are used to quantitatively evaluate our approach. We consider the mpMRI intensities within the region defined by the abnormal T2-FLAIR signal envelope, for training three DL models for the three tumor-specific parameters. Each of our DL models consist of two sets of convolution layers followed by a single max-pooling layer, with a normalized root mean squared error as the minimization metric and evaluated using 10-fold cross validation. We train and validate the DL-based predictions against parameters derived from biophysical inversion models. RESULTS Pearson correlation coefficients between our DL-based estimations and the biophysical parameters were equal to 0.85 for Dw, 0.90 for Mp, and 0.94 for T. CONCLUSION This study unlocks the power of tumor-specific parameters from biophysical tumor growth estimation, paving the way towards their utilization in more clinical studies, while opening the door for leveraging advanced radiomic descriptors in future studies, as well as allowing for significantly faster parameter reconstruction compared to biophysical growth modeling approaches. *denotes equal senior authorship.

    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: The availability of radiographic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for the Ivy Glioblastoma Atlas Project (Ivy GAP) has opened up opportunities for development of radiomic markers for prognostic/predictive applications in glioblastoma (GBM). In this work, we address two critical challenges with regard to developing robust radiomic approaches: (a) the lack of availability of reliable segmentation labels for glioblastoma tumor sub‐compartments (i.e., enhancing tumor, non‐enhancing tumor core, peritumoral edematous/infiltrated tissue) and (b) identifying “reproducible” radiomic features that are robust to segmentation variability across readers/sites. Acquisition and validation methods From TCIA’s Ivy GAP cohort, we obtained a paired set (n = 31) of expert annotations approved by two board‐certified neuroradiologists at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) and at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). For these studies, we performed a reproducibility study that assessed the variability in (a) segmentation labels and (b) radiomic features, between these paired annotations. The radiomic variability was assessed on a comprehensive panel of 11 700 radiomic features including intensity, volumetric, morphologic, histogram‐based, and textural parameters, extracted for each of the paired sets of annotations. Our results demonstrated (a) a high level of inter‐rater agreement (median value of DICE ≥0.8 for all sub‐compartments), and (b) ≈24% of the extracted radiomic features being highly correlated (based on Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient) to annotation variations. These robust features largely belonged to morphology (describing shape characteristics), intensity (capturing intensity profile statistics), and COLLAGE (capturing heterogeneity in gradient orientations) feature families. Data format and usage notes We make publicly available on TCIA’s Analysis Results Directory (https://doi.org/10.7937/9j41‐7d44), the complete set of (a) multi‐institutional expert annotations for the tumor sub‐compartments, (b) 11 700 radiomic features, and (c) the associated reproducibility meta‐analysis. Potential applications The annotations and the associated meta‐data for Ivy GAP are released with the purpose of enabling researchers toward developing image‐based biomarkers for prognostic/predictive applications in GBM.

    Abstract: Objective. Federated learning (FL) is a computational paradigm that enables organizations to collaborate on machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) projects without sharing sensitive data, such as patient records, financial data, or classified secrets. Approach. Open federated learning (OpenFL) framework is an open-source python-based tool for training ML/DL algorithms using the data-private collaborative learning paradigm of FL, irrespective of the use case. OpenFL works with training pipelines built with both TensorFlow and PyTorch, and can be easily extended to other ML and DL frameworks. Main results. In this manuscript, we present OpenFL and summarize its motivation and development characteristics, with the intention of facilitating its application to existing ML/DL model training in a production environment. We further provide recommendations to secure a federation using trusted execution environments to ensure explicit model security and integrity, as well as maintain data confidentiality. Finally, we describe the first real-world healthcare federations that use the OpenFL library, and highlight how it can be applied to other non-healthcare use cases. Significance. The OpenFL library is designed for real world scalability, trusted execution, and also prioritizes easy migration of centralized ML models into a federated training pipeline. Although OpenFL’s initial use case was in healthcare, it is applicable beyond this domain and is now reaching wider adoption both in research and production settings. The tool is open-sourced at github.com/intel/openfl .
