[Abstract] Objective To explore the value of conventional and functional MRI radiomics in prediction of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) status in breast cancel.Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, a total of 100 patients with breast cancer confirmed by surgery and pathology were enrolled from January 2016 to May 2020 in our hospital, including 57 cases of HER-2 positive and 85 cases of HER-2 negative. The patients were randomly divided into training group [100 cases, HER-2(+) 60 cases, HER-2(-) 40 cases], testing group [42 cases, HER-2(+) 25 cases, HER-2(-) 17 cases]. All patients underwent routine and dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging scans of the breast. A region of interest (ROI) of the primary breast tumor in each patient was delineated, and then the texture features of the ROI were extracted by AK. The minimum redundancy maximum redundancy and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator methods were used to reduce the dimensionality of texture features and establish radiomics signature. Multivariate logistic regression was used to establish individualized prediction model (including clinical factors and radiomics signature). The performance of the model was assessed by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the clinical usefulness.Results The area under the curve (AUC) of the clinical prediction model for positive HER-2 in the training group and the testing group was 0.81 and 0.69, respectively. The AUC of the combined sequentomics label was 0.89 and 0.81, respectively. The AUC of personalized prediction models was 0.94 and 0.87, respectively. DCA indicated that the value of individualized prediction model was higher than clinical prediction model and joint radiomics signature in clinical practice.Conclusions The individualized prediction model is superior to clinical prediction model and joint radiomics signature, and it has high value in predicting of HER-2 status.
