Abstract
OBJECT: Preoperative knowledge of meningioma grade is essential for planning treatment and surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of MRI texture and shape analysis in grading meningiomas. METHODS: A surgical database was reviewed to identify meningioma patients who had undergone tumor resection between January 2015 and December 2016. Preoperative MR images were retrieved and analyzed. Texture and shape analysis was conducted to quantitatively evaluate tumor heterogeneity and morphology. Three machine learning classifiers were trained with these features to build classification models. The performance of the features and classification models was assessed. RESULTS: A total of 131 patients were included in this study: 21 with high-grade meningiomas and 110 with low-grade meningiomas. Three texture features were selected: Horzl_RLNonUni, S(2,2)SumOfSqs, and WavEnHL_s-3; three shape features were selected: GeoFv, GeoW4, and GeoW5b. The Mann–Whitney test indicated that all six features were significantly different between high-grade and low-grade meningiomas. AUC values were generally greater than 0.50 (range, 0.73 to 0.88). Sensitivities and specificities ranged from 47.62% to 90.48% and 69.09% to 96.36%, respectively. Among the nine classification models obtained, the one built by training the SVM classifier with all six features achieved the best performance, with a sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic accuracy, and AUC of 0.86, 0.87, 0.87, and 0.87, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Texture and shape analysis, especially when combined with a SVM classifier, can provide satisfactory performance in the preoperative determination of meningioma grade and is thus potentially useful for clinical application.
