Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To explore whether a simplified lesion delineation method and a set of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metric-based histogram parameters (mean, 25th percentile, 75th percentile, skewness, and kurtosis) are efficient at predicting the molecular pathology status (MGMT methylation, IDH mutation, TERT promoter mutation, and 1p19q codeletion) of lower grade insular gliomas (grades II and III). METHODS: 40 lower grade insular glioma patients in two medical centers underwent preoperative DTI scanning. For each patient, the entire abnormal area in their b-non (b0) image was defined as region of interest (ROI), and a set of histogram parameters were calculated for two DTI metrics, fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD). Then, we compared how these DTI metrics varied according to molecular pathology and glioma grade, with their predictive performance individually and jointly assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves. The reliability of the combined prediction was evaluated by the calibration curve and Hosmer and Lemeshow test. RESULTS: The mean, 25th percentile, and 75th percentile of FA were associated with glioma grade, while the mean, 25th percentile, 75th percentile, and skewness of both FA and MD predicted IDH mutation. The mean, 25th percentile, and 75th percentile of FA, and all MD histogram parameters significantly distinguished TERT promoter status. Similarly, all MD histogram parameters were associated with 1p19q status. However, none of the parameters analyzed for either metric successfully predicted MGMT methylation. The 25th percentile of FA yielded the highest prediction efficiency for glioma grade, IDH mutation, and TERT promoter mutation, while the 75th percentile of MD gave the best prediction of 1p19q codeletion. The combined prediction could enhance the discrimination of grading, IDH and TERT mutation, and also with a good fitness. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, more invasive gliomas showed higher FA and lower MD values. The simplified ROI delineation method presented here based on the combination of appropriate histogram parameters yielded a more practical and efficient approach to predicting molecular pathology in lower grade insular gliomas. This approach could help clinicians to determine the extent of tumor resection required and reduce complications, enabling more precise treatment of insular gliomas in combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
