abstract = {To apply quantitative imaging analysis for noninvasive
classification of the most frequent subtypes of Non-Hodgkin
Lymphoma (NHL) as a basis for a clinical imaging genomic
model to support therapeutic monitoring and clinical
decision making.In this single-center study, 201
treatment-naïve patients with biopsy-proven NHL (50 diffuse
large B-cell lymphoma [DLBCL], 51 mantle cell lymphoma
[MCL], 49 follicular lymphoma [FL], and 51 chronic
lymphocytic leukemia [CLL]) and 39 treatment-naïve
non-small cell lung cancer patients with positron emission
tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT)-confirmed healthy
axillary lymph nodes (LNs) were retrospectively analyzed.
Three-dimensional (3D) segmentation and radiomic analysis of
pathologically enlarged nodes (n = 1,628) were performed on
contrast-enhanced CT scans, including healthy LNs as
references. Feature selection was performed using a random
forest (RF) classifier. Multiclass Classifier was performed
using a Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM) classifier
for lymphoma subtype classification.Performance to classify
lymphoma from non-lymphoma and lymphoma subtypes was as
follows: lymphoma vs. non-lymphoma: area under the curve
(AUC) = 0.999; MCL vs. other NHL: AUC = 0.997; DLBCL vs.
other NHL: AUC = 0.971; CLL vs. other NHL: AUC = 0.956; FL
vs. other NHL: AUC = 0.892.Radiomics combined with
multiclass machine learning enables highly accurate,
non-invasive differentiation of the major NHL subtypes on
routine contrast-enhanced CT. By reliably separating
indolent from aggressive phenotypes, this approach lays the
groundwork for imaging-genomic models that could streamline
biopsy guidance, enhance therapeutic monitoring, and advance
precision oncology in lymphoma care.Conducted as a
single-centre, retrospective proof-of-concept with internal
patient-level cross-validation, these results are promising
and form the basis for a prospective multicentre study to
confirm generalisability and clinical utility.Accurate
lymphoma classification is essential for predicting clinical
behavior and guiding treatment. Imaging aids in disease
staging, with quantitative analysis showing promise in
predicting pathology and outcome. We explored machine
learning on imaging features for lymphoma classification,
thus enhancing clinical decisions.},
