Low-parameter supervised learning models can discriminate pseudoprogression and true progression in non-perfusion-based MRI

摘要
Discrimination of pseudoprogression and true progression is one challenge to the treatment of malignant gliomas. Although some techniques such as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) demonstrate promise in distinguishing PsP from TP, we investigate robust and replicable alternatives to distinguish the two entities based on more widely-available media. In this study, we use low-parametric supervised learning techniques based on geographically-weighted regression (GWR) to investigate the utility of both conventional MRI sequences as well as a diffusion-weighted sequence (apparent diffusion coefficient or ADC) in the discrimination of PsP v TP. GWR applied to MRI modality pairs is a unique approach for small sample sizes and is a novel approach in this arena. From our analysis, all modality pairs involving ADC maps, and those involving post-contrast T1 regressed onto T2 showed potential promise. This work on ADC data adds to a growing body of research suggesting the predictive benefits of ADC, and suggests further research on the relationships between post-contrast T1 and T2.
