Abstract: Objective To investigate the value of radiomics nomogram based on non-contrast CT in the differential diagnosis of adrenal lipid-poor adenoma and adrenal nodular hyperplasia. Methods Clinical data of 44 patients with adrenal lipid-poor adenoma and 55 with nodular hyperplasia confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Radiomics features extracted from non-contrast CT and radiomics score(Radscore)were calculated to construct a radiomics model. Clinical factors were selected to construct a clinical model. Radiomics nomogram was constructed combining clinical factors and Radscore. The diagnostic values of the three models were compared. Results A total of 13 features were selected to establish the radiomics model. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve(AUC), sensitivity and specificity of the radiomics model were 0.91, 84.6% and 81.3%, respectively. Both univariate and multivariate Logistic regression showed that renin and maximum diameter were the independent influencing factors in the differential diagnosis of adrenal lipid-poor adenoma and adrenal nodular hyperplasia. The AUC, sensitivity and specificity of the clinical model were 0.57, 53.9% and 68.8%. respectively. The AUC, sensitivity and specificity of the radiomics nomogram were 0.94, 84.6% and 93.8%, respectively. The diagnostic efficiency of the radiomics model and nomogram was significantly higher than that of the clinical model(z=3.188, P<0.001; z=3.409, P<0.001). Conclusion The radiomics nomogram based on non-contrast CT has a high efficiency in the differential diagnosis of adrenal lipid-poor adenoma and nodular hyperplasia.
