Comprehensive radiogenomics analysis of qualitative and quantitative features of cross-sectional imaging in the TCGA project in MIBC.

2019 
482Background: Quantitative imaging descriptors derived from CT and MRI can be integrated with genomic data that may be used as non-invasive prognostic or predictive biomarkers. We report an integrated radiogenomics project designed to develop subjective and objective parameters extracted from cross-sectional imaging of MIBC from studies archived in the TCIA and linked to the TCGA project. Methods: We reported comprehensive integrated genomic analysis of 412 tumors (Cell 2017). 7 of 33 tissue source sites submitted CT scans to the TCIA (n=106). We developed 17 features describing tumor size/location, metastases sites, and tumor morphology; 9 GU radiologists reviewed the scans in a blinded manner. EH analyzed the data independent of the radiologists. We computed kappa statistics for categorical features and coverage probabilities for quantitative features (Lin et al 2002). The tumor was segmented on an axial image and the segmented image analyzed using a radiomics panel (radiomicslab.usc.edu). Associations...
