Implication

Multi-cohort study demonstrates non-invasive radiomics accurately predicts IDH mutation status in grade 4 glioma, indicating potential for non-invasive molecular stratification.

Key Points

Determine whether non-invasive MRI-based radiomic machine learning models can accurately predict IDH mutation status in grade 4 glioma.
Analyzed multi-institutional MRI data from 376 patients with grade 4 glioma across open-access UCSF and local STORM_GLIO cohorts.
Extracted standardized radiomic features from gross tumor volumes using IBSI-compliant software and selected top features via LASSO.
Trained an XGBoost classifier on an 80% discovery split, evaluated performance on a 20% independent validation cohort, and interpreted feature impact using SHAP analysis.
The clinical-radiomic model achieved an AUC of 0.97 on internal validation and an AUC of 0.93 on the independent external validation cohort.
SHAP interpretability analysis identified T2-dependent ivh_i90 and FLAIR-dependent dzm_sdhge_3d features, representing high-intensity and high-gray-level tumor zones, alongside patient age, as the primary predictors of IDH status.
