[Abstract] Objective To investigate the value of machine learning models based on MRI radiomics features in differentiating solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) from angiomatous meningioma (AM).Materials and Methods A total of 68 patients with SFT and 41 patients with AM confirmed by pathology from the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University were retrospectively enrolled. The pre-processing, delineation of the region of interest (ROI), and feature extraction of the T1-weighted images (T1WI), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), and contrast-enhanced T1WI were performed in the 3D slicer software. The optimal feature set was selected by independent-samples t test and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). The optimal features of multi-parameter MRI were selected based on T1WI, FLAIR and contrast-enhanced T1WI. All patients were randomly divided into the training group (n=76) and the test group (n=33) at a ratio of 7∶3. The models were established by logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), and support vector machine (SVM). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn, respectively, and accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) were calculated. The DeLong test was used to compare the differences in AUCs among different models.Results The average age of the AM group was higher than that of the SFT group (P<0.001). There was no significant difference in gender composition between AM group and SFT group (P>0.05). Twenty-two, twelve, twelve and sixty-five radiomics features were extracted from T1WI, FLAIR, contrast-enhanced T1WI and multi-parameter MRI, respectively. The differentiation efficiency of models based on multi-parameter MRI between intracranial SFT and AM was better than that of models based on a single sequence. The SVM model based on multi-parameter MRI reached the highest performance of all models, and the AUC was 0.99. Among models based on a single sequence, differentiation efficiency of models based on T1WI or FLAIR was better than that of models based on contrast-enhanced T1WI. The AUCs of LR models were all greater than 0.9.Conclusions Machine learning models based on MRI radiomics features can effectively discriminate SFT from AM. The differentiation efficiency of models based on multi-parameter MRI is higher, and the SVM model has the highest efficiency among these models. LR models have good efficiency and stability.
