With growing emphasis on personalized cancer-therapies,radiogenomics has shown promise in identifying target tumor mutational status on routine imaging (i.e. MRI) scans. These approaches fall into 2 categories: (1) deep-learning/radiomics (context-based), using image features from the entire tumor to identify the gene mutation status, or (2) atlas (spatial)-based to obtain likelihood of gene mutation status based on population statistics. While many genes (i.e. EGFR, MGMT) are spatially variant, a significant challenge in reliable assessment of gene mutation status on imaging has been the lack of available co-localized ground truth for training the models. We present Spatial-And-Context aware (SpACe) virtual biopsy maps that incorporate context-features from co-localized biopsy site along with spatial-priors from population atlases, within a Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression model, to obtain a per-voxel probability of the presence of a mutation status (M+ vs M-). We then use probabilistic pair-wise Markov model to improve the voxel-wise prediction probability. We evaluate the efficacy of SpACe maps on MRI scans with co-localized ground truth obtained from corresponding biopsy, to predict the mutation status of 2 driver genes in Glioblastoma: (1) EGFR (n=91), and (2) MGMT (n=81). When compared against deep-learning (DL) and radiomic models, SpACe maps obtained training and testing accuracies of 90% (n=71) and 90.48% (n=21) in identifying EGFR amplification status,compared to 80% and 71.4% via radiomics, and 74.28% and 65.5% via DL. For MGMT status, training and testing accuracies using SpACe were 88.3% (n=61) and 71.5% (n=20), compared to 52.4% and 66.7% using radiomics,and 79.3% and 68.4% using DL. Following validation,SpACe maps could provide surgical navigation to improve localization of sampling sites for targeting of specific driver genes in cancer.

A significant challenge in Glioblastoma (GBM) management is identifying pseudo-progression (PsP), a benign radiation-induced effect, from tumor recurrence, on routine imaging following conventional treatment. Previous studies have linked tumor lobar presence and laterality to GBM outcomes, suggesting that disease etiology and progression in GBM may be impacted by tumor location. Hence, in this feasibility study, we seek to investigate the following question: Can tumor location on treatment-naive MRI provide early cues regarding likelihood of a patient developing pseudo-progression versus tumor recurrence? In this study, 74 pre-treatment Glioblastoma MRI scans with PsP (33) and tumor recurrence (41) were analyzed. First, enhancing lesion on Gd-T1w MRI and peri-lesional hyperintensities on T2w/FLAIR were segmented by experts and then registered to a brain atlas. Using patients from the two phenotypes, we construct two atlases by quantifying frequency of occurrence of enhancing lesion and peri-lesion hyperintensities, by averaging voxel intensities across the population. Analysis of differential involvement was then performed to compute voxel-wise significant differences (p-value<0.05) across the atlases. Statistically significant clusters were finally mapped to a structural atlas to provide anatomic localization of their location. Our results demonstrate that patients with tumor recurrence showed prominence of their initial tumor in the parietal lobe, while patients with PsP showed a multi-focal distribution of the initial tumor in the frontal and temporal lobes, insula, and putamen. These preliminary results suggest that lateralization of pre-treatment lesions towards certain anatomical areas of the brain may allow to provide early cues regarding assessing likelihood of occurrence of pseudo-progression from tumor recurrence on MRI scans.
Understanding the dynamics of brain tumor progression is essential for optimal treatment planning. Cast in a mathematical formulation, it is typically viewed as evaluation of a system of partial differential equations, wherein the physiological proce sses that govern the growth of the tumor are considered. To personalize the model, i.e. find a relevant set of parameters, with respect to the tumor dynamics of a particular patient, the model is informed from empirical data, e.g., medical images obtained from diagnostic modalities, such as magnetic-resonance imaging. Existing model-observation coupling schemes require a large number of forward integrations of the biophysical model and rely on simplifying assumption on the functional form, linking the output of the model with the image information. In this work, we propose a learning-based technique for the estimation of tumor growth model parameters from medical scans. The technique allows for explicit evaluation of the posterior distribution of the parameters by sequentially training a mixture-density network, relaxing the constraint on the functional form and reducing the number of samples necessary to propagate through the forward model for the estimation. We test the method on synthetic and real scans of rats injected with brain tumors to calibrate the model and to predict tumor progression.
Accurately predicting the binding affinity between drugs and proteins is an essential step for computational drug discovery. Since graph neural networks (GNNs) have demonstrated remarkable success in various graph-related tasks, GNNs have been consid ered as a promising tool to improve the binding affinity prediction in recent years. However, most of the existing GNN architectures can only encode the topological graph structure of drugs and proteins without considering the relative spatial information among their atoms. Whereas, different from other graph datasets such as social networks and commonsense knowledge graphs, the relative spatial position and chemical bonds among atoms have significant impacts on the binding affinity. To this end, in this paper, we propose a diStance-aware Molecule graph Attention Network (S-MAN) tailored to drug-target binding affinity prediction. As a dedicated solution, we first propose a position encoding mechanism to integrate the topological structure and spatial position information into the constructed pocket-ligand graph. Moreover, we propose a novel edge-node hierarchical attentive aggregation structure which has edge-level aggregation and node-level aggregation. The hierarchical attentive aggregation can capture spatial dependencies among atoms, as well as fuse the position-enhanced information with the capability of discriminating multiple spatial relations among atoms. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments on two standard datasets to demonstrate the effectiveness of S-MAN.
Recent development of quantitative myocardial blood flow (MBF) mapping allows direct evaluation of absolute myocardial perfusion, by computing pixel-wise flow maps. Clinical studies suggest quantitative evaluation would be more desirable for objectiv ity and efficiency. Objective assessment can be further facilitated by segmenting the myocardium and automatically generating reports following the AHA model. This will free user interaction for analysis and lead to a one-click solution to improve workflow. This paper proposes a deep neural network based computational workflow for inline myocardial perfusion analysis. Adenosine stress and rest perfusion scans were acquired from three hospitals. Training set included N=1,825 perfusion series from 1,034 patients. Independent test set included 200 scans from 105 patients. Data were consecutively acquired at each site. A convolution neural net (CNN) model was trained to provide segmentation for LV cavity, myocardium and right ventricular by processing incoming 2D+T perfusion Gd series. Model outputs were compared to manual ground-truth for accuracy of segmentation and flow measures derived on global and per-sector basis. The trained models were integrated onto MR scanners for effective inference. Segmentation accuracy and myocardial flow measures were compared between CNN models and manual ground-truth. The mean Dice ratio of CNN derived myocardium was 0.93 +/- 0.04. Both global flow and per-sector values showed no significant difference, compared to manual results. The AHA 16 segment model was automatically generated and reported on the MR scanner. As a result, the fully automated analysis of perfusion flow mapping was achieved. This solution was integrated on the MR scanner, enabling one-click analysis and reporting of myocardial blood flow.

Background: In the United States, 5.7 million patients are admitted annually to intensive care units (ICU), with costs exceeding $82 billion. Although close monitoring and dynamic assessment of patient acuity are key aspects of ICU care, both are lim ited by the time constraints imposed on healthcare providers. Methods: Using the University of Florida Health (UFH) Integrated Data Repository as Honest Broker, we created a database with electronic health records data from a retrospective study cohort of 38,749 adult patients admitted to ICU at UF Health between 06/01/2014 and 08/22/2019. This repository includes demographic information, comorbidities, vital signs, laboratory values, medications with date and timestamps, and diagnoses and procedure codes for all index admission encounters as well as encounters within 12 months prior to index admission and 12 months follow-up. We developed algorithms to identify acuity status of the patient every four hours during each ICU stay. Results: We had 383,193 encounters (121,800 unique patients) admitted to the hospital, and 51,073 encounters (38,749 unique patients) with at least one ICU stay that lasted more than four hours. These patients requiring ICU admission had longer median hospital stay (7 days vs. 1 day) and higher in-hospital mortality (9.6% vs. 0.4%) compared with those not admitted to the ICU. Among patients who were admitted to the ICU and expired during hospital admission, more deaths occurred in the ICU than on general hospital wards (7.4% vs. 0.8%, respectively). Conclusions: We developed phenotyping algorithms that determined patient acuity status every four hours while admitted to the ICU. This approach may be useful in developing prognostic and clinical decision-support tools to aid patients, caregivers, and providers in shared decision-making processes regarding resource use and escalation of care.
