Radiomic Applications in Skull Base Pathology: A Systematic Review of Potential Clinical Uses

Abstract

Objectives Radiomics involves the extraction and analysis of numerous quantitative features of medical imaging which can add more information from radiological images often beyond initial comprehension of a clinician. Unlike deep learning, radiomics allows some understanding of identified quantitative features for clinical prediction. We sought to explore the current state of radiomics applications in the skull base literature.

Methods A systematic review of studies evaluating radiomics in skull base was performed, including those with and without machine-learning approaches. Studies were summarized into thematic elements as well as specific pathologies.

Results A total of 102 studies with 26,280 radiographic images were included. The earliest radiomic study was published in 2017 with exponential growth in research since then. Most studies focused on tumor diagnosis (40.8%), followed by tumor prognosis (31.1%), automated segmentation (16.5%), other applications (7.8%), and lastly prediction of intraoperative features (3.9%). Pituitary adenomas (41.7%) and vestibular schwannomas (18.4%) represented the most commonly evaluated pathologies; however, radiomics could be applied to a heterogeneous collection of skull base pathologies. The average study included 258 ± 677 cases (range 4; 6,755).

Conclusion Radiomics offers many functions in treating skull base pathology and will likely be an essential component of future clinical care. Larger sample sizes, validation of predictive models, and clinical application are needed. Further investigation into the strengths and weaknesses of radiomic applications in skull base treatments is warranted.
