Abstract

To examine the usefulness of the texture analysis (TA) of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps in predicting the chemoradiotherapy (CRT) response of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). We reviewed 45 MIBC patients who underwent cystectomy after CRT. CRT response was assessed through histologic evaluation of cystectomy specimens. Two radiologists determined the volume of interest for the index lesions on ADC maps of pretherapeutic 1.5-T MRI and performed TA using the LIFEx software. Forty-six texture features (TFs) were selected based on their contribution to the prediction of CRT sensitivity. To evaluate diagnostic performance, diagnostic models from the selected TFs were created using random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM), respectively. Twenty-three patients achieved pathologic complete response (pCR) to CRT. The feature selection identified first quartile ADC (Q1 ADC), gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) correlation, and GLCM homogeneity as important in predicting CRT response. Patients who achieved pCR showed significantly lower Q1 ADC and GLCM correlation values (0.66 × 10−3 mm2/s and 0.53, respectively) than those who did not (0.81 × 10−3 mm2/s and 0.70, respectively; p
