Differential Diagnosis of Nonhypervascular Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms From Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinomas, Based on Computed Tomography Radiological Features and Texture Analysis.

Abstract：

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES:To determine computed tomography (CT) radiological features and texture features that are rewarding in differentiating nonhypervascular pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs). MATERIALS AND METHODS:We compared patients to pathologically proven nonhypervascular PNENs and age-matched controls with pathologically proven PDACs in a 1:2 ratio. Preoperative CT images in the arterial phase (AP) and portal vein phase (PVP) were obtained. Two radiologists independently reviewed the morphological characteristics of each tumor. Three-dimensional regions of interest (ROIs), drawn using ITK-SNAP software, were input into AK software (Artificial Intelligent Kit, GE) to extract texture features from AP and PVP images. Differences between PNENs and PDACs were analyzed with the chi-squared test, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, kappa statistics, and uni- and multivariate logistic regression analyses. RESULTS:In total, 40 nonhypervascular PNENs and 80 PDACs were evaluated. Maximum diameter on axial section, margin, calcification, vascularity in the tumor, and tumor heterogeneity were significantly different between PDACs and nonhypervascular PNENs. Multivariate analysis showed well-defined tumor margin (odds ratio: 21.0) and presence of calcification (odds ratio: 4.4) were significant predictors of nonhypervascular PNENs. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the radiological feature model, AP texture model, and PVP texture model were 0.780, 0.855, and 0.929, respectively, based on logistic regression. CONCLUSION:A well-defined margin and calcification in the tumor were helpful in discriminating nonhypervascular PNENs from PDACs. Texture analysis of contrast-enhanced CT images could be beneficial in differentially diagnosing nonhypervascular PNENs and PDACs.
