Abstract Purpose To investigate the application value of support vector machine (SVM) model based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) and amide proton transfer- weighted (APTW) imaging in predicting isocitrate dehydrogenase 1(IDH-1) mutation and Ki-67 expression in glioma. Methods The DWI, DCE and APTW images of 309 patients with glioma confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed and divided into the IDH-1 group (IDH-1(+) group and IDH-1(-) group) and Ki-67 group (low expression group (Ki-67 ≤ 10%) and high expression group (Ki-67 > 10%)). All cases were divided into the training set, and validation set according to the ratio of 7:3. The training set was used to select features and establish machine learning models. The SVM model was established with the data after feature selection. Four single sequence models and one combined model were established in IDH-1 group and Ki-67 group. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the model. Validation set data was used for further validation. Results Both in the IDH-1 group and Ki-67 group, the combined model had better predictive efficiency than single sequence model, although the single sequence model had a better predictive efficiency. In the Ki-67 group, the combined model was built from six selected radiomics features, and the AUC were 0.965 and 0.931 in the training and validation sets, respectively. In the IDH-1 group, the combined model was built from four selected radiomics features, and the AUC were 0.997 and 0.967 in the training and validation sets, respectively. Conclusion The radiomics model established by DWI, DCE and APTW images could be used to detect IDH-1 mutation and Ki-67 expression in glioma patients before surgery. The prediction performance of the radiomics model based on the combination sequence was better than that of the single sequence model.
