Prediction of mediastinal lymph node metastasis based on 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging using support vector machine in non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a classification method based on support vector machine (SVM) to improve the diagnostic performance of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to detect the lymph node (LN) metastasis in non-small cell...

      ab: Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a classification method based on support vector machine (SVM) to improve the diagnostic performance of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to detect the lymph node (LN) metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Method: Two hundred nineteen lymph nodes (37 metastatic) from 71 patients were evaluated in this study. SVM models were developed with 7 LN features. The area under the curve (AUC) and accuracy of 9 models were compared to select the best model. The best SVM model was simplified on the basis of the feature weights and value distribution to further suit the clinical application.Results: The maximum, minimum, and mean accuracy of the best model was 91.89% (68/74, 95% CI 83.11~96.54%), 66.22% (49/74, 95% CI 54.85~75.98%), and 80.09% (59,266/74,000, 95% CI 70.27~89.19%), respectively, with an AUC of 0.94, 0.66, and 0.81, respectively. The best SVM model was finally simplified into a score rule: LNs with scores more than 3.0 were considered as malignant ones, whereas LNs with scores less than 1.5 tended to be benign ones. For the LNs with scores within a range of 1.5-3.0, metastasis was suspected.Conclusion: An SVM model based on 18F-FDG PET/CT images was able to predict the metastatic LNs for patients with NSCLC. The ratio of the maximum of standard uptake value of LNs to aortic arch played a major role in the model. After simplification, the model could be transferred into a scoring method which may partly help clinicians determine the clinical staging of patients with NSCLC relatively easier.Key Points: • The SVM model based on 18F-FDG PET/CT features may help clinicians to make a decision for metastatic mediastinal lymph nodes in patients with NSCLC. • The SURblood plays a major role in the SVM model. • The score rule based on the SVM model simplified the complexity of the model and may partly help clinicians determine the clinical staging of patients with NSCLC relatively easier.
