Aim. To develop an algorithm, based on convolutional neural network (CNN), for the classification of lung cancer lesions as T1-T2 or T3-T4 on staging fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/CT images. Methods. We retrospectively selected a cohort of 472 patients (divided in the training, validation, and test sets) submitted to staging FDG-PET/CT within 60 days before biopsy or surgery. TNM system seventh edition was used as reference. Postprocessing was performed to generate an adequate dataset. The input of CNNs was a bounding box on both PET and CT images, cropped around the lesion centre. The results were classified as Correct (concordance between reference and prediction) and Incorrect (discordance between reference and prediction). Accuracy (Correct/[Correct + Incorrect]), recall (Correctly predicted T3-T4/[all T3-T4]), and specificity (Correctly predicted T1-T2/[all T1-T2]), as commonly defined in deep learning models, were used to evaluate CNN performance. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated for the final model. Results. The algorithm, composed of two networks (a “feature extractor” and a “classifier”), developed and tested achieved an accuracy, recall, specificity, and AUC of 87%, 69%, 69%, and 0.83; 86%, 77%, 70%, and 0.73; and 90%, 47%, 67%, and 0.68 in the training, validation, and test sets, respectively. Conclusion. We obtained proof of concept that CNNs can be used as a tool to assist in the staging of patients affected by lung cancer.

Objective:Using CT texture analysis and machine learning methods, this study aims to distinguish the lesions imaged via 68Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT as metastatic and completely responded in patients with known bone metastasis and who were previously treated.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT images of 75 patients after treatment, who were previously diagnosed with prostate cancer and had known bone metastasis. A texture analysis was performed on the metastatic lesions showing PSMA expression and completely responded sclerotic lesions without PSMA expression through CT images. Textural features were compared in two groups. Thus, the distinction of metastasis/completely responded lesions and the most effective parameters in this issue were determined by using various methods [decision tree, discriminant analysis, support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), ensemble classifier] in machine learning.Results:In 28 of the 35 texture analysis findings, there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups. The Weighted KNN method had the highest accuracy and area under the curve, has been chosen as the best model. The weighted KNN algorithm was succeeded to differentiate sclerotic lesion from metastasis or completely responded lesions with 0.76 area under the curve. GLZLM_SZHGE and histogram-based kurtosis were found to be the most important parameters in differentiating metastatic and completely responded sclerotic lesions.Conclusions:Metastatic lesions and completely responded sclerosis areas in CT images, as determined by 68Ga-PSMA PET, could be distinguished with good accuracy using texture analysis and machine learning (Weighted KNN algorithm) in prostate cancer.Advances in knowledge:Our findings suggest that, with the use of newly emerging software, CT imaging can contribute to identifying the metastatic lesions in prostate cancer.
