Purpose To identify cerebral radiomic features related to diagnosis and subtyping of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and to build and evaluate classification models for ADHD diagnosis and subtyping on the basis of the identified features. Materials and Methods A consecutive cohort of 83 age- and sex-matched children with newly diagnosed and never-treated ADHD (mean age 10.83 years ± 2.30; range, 7-14 years; 71 boys, 40 with ADHD-inattentive [ADHD-I] and 43 with ADHD-combined [ADHD-C, or inattentive and hyperactive]) and 87 healthy control subjects (mean age, 11.21 years ± 2.51; range, 7-15 years; 72 boys) underwent anatomic and diffusion-tensor magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Features representing the shape properties of gray matter and diffusion properties of white matter were extracted for each participant. The initial feature set was input into an all-relevant feature selection procedure within cross-validation loops to identify features with significant discriminative power for diagnosis and subtyping. Random forest classifiers were constructed and evaluated on the basis of identified features. Results No overall difference was found between children with ADHD and control subjects in total brain volume (1069830.00 mm ± 90743.36 vs 1079 213.00 mm ± 92742.25, respectively; P = .51) or total gray and white matter volume (611978.10 mm ± 51622.81 vs 616960.20 mm ± 51872.93, respectively; P = .53; 413532.00 mm ± 41 114.33 vs 418173.60 mm ± 42395.48, respectively; P = .47). The mean classification accuracy achieved with classifiers to discriminate patients with ADHD from control subjects was 73.7%. Alteration in cortical shape in the left temporal lobe, bilateral cuneus, and regions around the left central sulcus contributed significantly to group discrimination. The mean classification accuracy with classifiers to discriminate ADHD-I from ADHD-C was 80.1%, with significant discriminating features located in the default mode network and insular cortex. Conclusion The results of this study provide preliminary evidence that cerebral morphometric alterations can allow discrimination between patients with ADHD and control subjects and also between the most common ADHD subtypes. By identifying features relevant for diagnosis and subtyping, these findings may advance the understanding of neurodevelopmental alterations related to ADHD.

Purpose: To build a dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) delta radiomics model to predict chemotherapeutic response for far-advanced gastric cancer (GC) patients. A semi-automatic segmentation method based on deep learning was designed, and its performance was compared with that of manual segmentation. Methods: This retrospective study included 86 patients with far-advanced GC treated with chemotherapy from September 2016 to December 2017 (66 and 20 in the training and testing cohorts, respectively). Delta radiomics features between the baseline and first follow-up DECT were modeled by random forest to predict the chemotherapeutic response evaluated by the second follow-up DECT. Nine feature subsets from confounding factors and delta radiomics features were used to choose the best model with 10-fold cross-validation in the training cohort. A semi-automatic segmentation method based on deep learning was developed to predict the chemotherapeutic response and compared with manual segmentation in the testing cohort, which was further validated in an independent validation cohort of 30 patients. Results: The best model, constructed by confounding factors and texture features, reached an average AUC of 0.752 in the training cohort. Our proposed semi-automatic segmentation method was more time-effective than manual segmentation, with average saving-time of 11.2333 ± 6.3989 minutes and 9.9889 ±5.5086 minutes in the testing cohort and the independent validation cohort, respectively (both p < 0.05). The predictive ability of the semi-automatic segmentation was also better than that of the manual segmentation both in the testing cohort and the independent validation cohort (AUC: 0.728 vs. 0.687 and 0.828 vs. 0.749, respectively). Conclusion: DECT delta radiomics serves as a promising biomarker for predicting chemotherapeutic response for far-advanced GC. Semi-automatic segmentation based on deep learning shows the potential for clinical use with increased reproducibility and decreased labor costs compared to the manual version.
