Recommender-based bone tumour classification with radiographs-a link to the past.
Eur. Radiol. 34, 6629-6638 (2024)
OBJECTIVES: To develop an algorithm to link undiagnosed patients to previous patient histories based on radiographs, and simultaneous classification of multiple bone tumours to enable early and specific diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For this retrospective study, data from 2000 to 2021 were curated from our database by two orthopaedic surgeons, a radiologist and a data scientist. Patients with complete clinical and pre-therapy radiographic data were eligible. To ensure feasibility, the ten most frequent primary tumour entities, confirmed histologically or by tumour board decision, were included. We implemented a ResNet and transformer model to establish baseline results. Our method extracts image features using deep learning and then clusters the k most similar images to the target image using a hash-based nearest-neighbour recommender approach that performs simultaneous classification by majority voting. The results were evaluated with precision-at-k, accuracy, precision and recall. Discrete parameters were described by incidence and percentage ratios. For continuous parameters, based on a normality test, respective statistical measures were calculated. RESULTS: Included were data from 809 patients (1792 radiographs; mean age 33.73 ± 18.65, range 3-89 years; 443 men), with Osteochondroma (28.31%) and Ewing sarcoma (1.11%) as the most and least common entities, respectively. The dataset was split into training (80%) and test subsets (20%). For k = 3, our model achieved the highest mean accuracy, precision and recall (92.86%, 92.86% and 34.08%), significantly outperforming state-of-the-art models (54.10%, 55.57%, 19.85% and 62.80%, 61.33%, 23.05%). CONCLUSION: Our novel approach surpasses current models in tumour classification and links to past patient data, leveraging expert insights. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: The proposed algorithm could serve as a vital support tool for clinicians and general practitioners with limited experience in bone tumour classification by identifying similar cases and classifying bone tumour entities. KEY POINTS: • Addressed accurate bone tumour classification using radiographic features. • Model achieved 92.86%, 92.86% and 34.08% mean accuracy, precision and recall, respectively, significantly surpassing state-of-the-art models. • Enhanced diagnosis by integrating prior expert patient assessments.
