[Abstract] Objective To explore the value of a new prediction model based on the fusion of multiparametric MRI imaging features in the differential diagnosis of high-grade glioma (HGG) and solitary brain metastasis (SBM).Materials and Methods We collected multiparametric MRI images of 121 (61 HGG and 60 SBM) patients in this study, and delineated the tumor volume of solid enhancement region (VOIET) on the conventional axial MRI images [T1WI, T2WI, T2-weighted fluid attenuated inversion recovery (T2_FLAIR) and post-contrast enhancement T1WI (CE_T1WI)]. The radiomics features extracted from different MRI sequences were fused by merging the class information of HGG and SBM, and the performance of different MRI sequences and their combinations were compared quantitatively.Results Fusion of image features extracted from the T1WI and T2_FLAIR sequences had dominant predictive performances over features from other single sequence or combinations, achieving a discrimination accuracy of area under the ROC curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 0.946, 86.4%, 84.1% and 88.7%, respectively.Conclusions The fusion model based on radiomics features from multiparameter MRI could noninvasively and efficiently identify HGG and SBM via integrating multi-sequence image information of the tumor.
