[Abstract] Objective To explore the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) texture analysis in predicting delayed enhancement status in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA). Materials and Methods: One hundred and thirty-two patients with CA confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed, including presence (87 cases) and absence (45 cases) of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) groups, and Sixty-six health volunteers were recruited. Regions of interest (ROIs) on native T1 mapping were drawn by two radiologists using open source software ITK-SNAP. FeAture Explorer (FAE) software was used to extract and select features. Finally, eight features were selected to build the model of support vector machine (SVM) A, which was used to differentiate the myocardium between CA patients without LGE and health volunteers. By using the same method of feature dimension reduction, nine features were selected to construct the model of SVM B to further predict the presence or absence of LGE in patients with CA. Finally, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, accuracy and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were calculated to evaluate the differential diagnostic efficacy of the two models.Results The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of training set of the model of SVM A were 0.839, 0.957, 0.929, 0.898 and 0.909, respectively, and those of test set were 0.786, 0.950, 0.917, 0.864 and 0.882, respectively. The AUC of the training set and the test set were 0.948 (95% CI: 0.890—0.991) and 0.918 (95% CI: 0.780—1.000), respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of training set of the model of SVM B were 0.853, 0.710, 0.853, 0.710 and 0.804, respectively, and those of test set were 0.846, 0.714, 0.846, 0.714 and 0.800, respectively. The AUC of the training set and the test set were 0.762 (95% CI: 0.639—0.875) and 0.758 (95% CI: 0.565—0.937), respectively.Conclusions The radiomics models based on MRI texture analysis without contrast agent have a reasonable diagnostic performance in differentiating the myocardium between CA patients without LGE and health volunteers and predicting whether the myocardium of CA patients has delayed enhancement.
