Özet
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the ability of (18)fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) radiomic features combined with machine learning methods to distinguish between benign and malignant solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN). Methods: Data of 48 patients with SPN detected on F-18-FDG PET/CT scan were evaluated retrospectively. The texture feature extraction from PET/CT images was performed using an open-source application (LIFEx). Deep learning and classical machine learning algorithms were used to build the models. Final diagnosis was confirmed by pathology and follow-up was accepted as the reference. The performances of the models were assessed by the following metrics: Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC). Results: The predictive models provided reasonable performance for the differential diagnosis of SPNs (AUCs similar to 0.81). The accuracy and AUC of the radiomic models were similar to the visual interpretation. However, when compared to the conventional evaluation, the sensitivity of the deep learning model (88% vs. 83%) and specificity of the classic learning model were higher (86% vs. 79%). Conclusion: Machine learning based on F-18-FDG PET/CT texture features can contribute to the conventional evaluation to distinguish between benign and malignant lung nodules.
