Objective: To investigate the value of CT images texture analysis in differential benign and malignant small pulmonary ground-glass nodules. Methods: A total of 113 patients with 115 pulmonary ground-glass nodules were selecteded. The CT images were imported into Mazda 4.6 software and regions of interest(ROI) were manually drawed. The optimum texture parameters were selected through Mutual information (MI), Fisher coefficient, probability of classification error and average correction coefficient (POE+ACC) and the combination of three methods (Fisher+POE+ACC+MI) respectively.The model of artificial neural network was builded. The assessment results of texture analysis and radiologists were compared with the pathological results. And misdiagnostic rates were analyzed between texture analysis and radiologists. Results: For small pulmonary ground-glass nodules, there were 8 groups with statistical differences among the 30 groups of texture parameters extracted by Mazda software, MI were 2 groups, Poe+ACC and Fisher coefficient were 4 groups each. The misdiagnostic rates of MI, POE+ACC, Fisher, Fisher+POE+ACC+MI and radiologists were 45.22%(52/115),34.78%(40/115),37.39%(43/115),14.78%(17/115),45.22%(52/115) respectively. Misdiagnostic rate of Fisher+POE+ACC+MI was lowest. Meantime, the misdiagnosis rates of benign nodules was significantly higher than that of malignant nodules by radiologists (P < 0.05). Conclusion: CT images texture analysis can be used to differentiate benign and malignant small pulmonary ground-glass nodules. |
