[Abstract] Objective To explore the value of T2WI imaging model in predicting Ki-67 proliferation level of glioblastoma before operation. Materials andMethods The preoperative MRI images of 96 patients with glioblastoma diagnosed by pathology in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. According to the expression level of Ki-67, the patients were divided into two groups: low expression group (Ki-67<50%) and high expression group (Ki-67≥50). The volume of interest (VOI) was manually sketched on the T2WI axial image and the imaging features were extracted. All cases are divided into training group and test group according to 70%∶30%. The training group was used for feature screening and the establishment of machine learning models. Feature selection was completed by t-test and LASSO. After feature screening, three machine learning models of random forest (RF), Logistic regression and support vector machine (SVM) were established. The test group was used to verify the established model and draw ROC curves, and the results were expressed as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and AUC.Results There was no significant difference in age and sex between Ki-67 low expression group and high expression group. Among the three machine learning models, the RF model has the highest diagnostic efficiency, and the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and AUC are 0.72, 0.67, 0.76 and 0.72 respectively. The comprehensive diagnostic efficiency of the SVM model is the lowest, while the SVM model is between them.Conclusions The imaging model based on T2WI image has a certain value in predicting the level of Ki-67 expression in glioblastoma before operation, among which RF model is the best.
