Differentiating pseudo-progression (PsP), a radiation-induced treatment effect, from tumor progression on imaging is a significant challenge in Glioblastoma management. Unfortunately, guidelines set by RANO criteria are based solely on bidirectional diametric measurements of enhancement observed on T1w, T2w/FLAIR scans. We hypothesize that quantitative 3D shape features of the enhancing lesion on T1w, and T2w/FLAIR hyperintensities (together called the lesion habitat) can more comprehensively capture pathophysiological differences across PsP and tumor recurrence, not appreciable on diametric measurements alone. A total of 105 Glioblastoma studies from 2 institutions were analyzed, consisting of a training (N=59) and an independent test (N=46) cohort. For every study, expert delineation of the lesion habitat (T1w enhancing lesion and T2w/FLAIR hyperintense peri-lesional region) was obtained, followed by extracting 30 shape features capturing 14 “global” contour characteristics, and 16 “local” curvature measures, for every habitat region. Feature selection was employed to identify most discriminative features on the training cohort and were evaluated on the test cohort using a support vector machine classifier. Top 2 most discriminative features were identified as local features capturing total curvature of the enhancing lesion, and curvedness of T2w/FLAIR hyperintense peri-lesional region. Using top features from the training cohort (training accuracy=91.5%), we obtained an accuracy of 90.2% on the test set in distinguishing PsP from tumor progression. Our preliminary results suggest that 3D shape attributes from the lesion habitat can differentially express across PsP and tumor progression and could be used to distinguish these radiographically-similar pathologies.
