Despite its growing adoption in various research contexts, radiomics faces several challenges, including the high dimensionality of radiomic feature sets, the variability of radiomic feature types, and potentially high computational demands. These challenges highlight the need for an effective method to identify the simplest and most efficient features for a specific clinical problem. diff --git a/src/content/community/news/2022-06-02-rbiq.md b/src/content/community/news/2022-06-02-rbiq.md index 49ebda6..71a34a1 100644 --- a/src/content/community/news/2022-06-02-rbiq.md +++ b/src/content/community/news/2022-06-02-rbiq.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ ![RBIQ 2022 featured image](/images/albums/2022-06-02-rbiq/featured.jpg) -Congratulations to [Mahdi Ait Lhaj Loutfi](/team/mahdi-ait-lhaj-loutfi) for his presentation +Congratulations to [Mahdi Loutfi](/team/mahdi-loutfi) for his presentation titled "_An International Standards Compliant Tool for Radiomic Feature Extraction from Medical Images_" at the RBIQ 2022 Science Day. diff --git a/src/content/community/news/2022-10-20-cirius.md b/src/content/community/news/2022-10-20-cirius.md index 692eedf..3898886 100644 --- a/src/content/community/news/2022-10-20-cirius.md +++ b/src/content/community/news/2022-10-20-cirius.md @@ -1,11 +1,11 @@ ![CIRIUS Science Day 2022 featured image](/images/albums/2022-10-20-cirius/featured.jpg) -Congratulations to [Mahdi Ait Lhaj Loutfi](/team/mahdi-ait-lhaj-loutfi), +Congratulations to [Mahdi Loutfi](/team/mahdi-loutfi), [Olivier Lefebvre](/team/olivier-lefebvre), and [Hakima Laribi](/team/hakima-laribi) for winning prizes at the Centre interdisciplinaire de recherche en informatique de la santé de l'Université de Sherbrooke (CIRIUS) 2022 Scientific Day. -- 1st prize ($350): [Mahdi Ait Lhaj Loutfi](/team/mahdi-ait-lhaj-loutfi) ([presentation](/publications/a-compliant-package-with-international-standards-for-radiomics-analysis-of-medical-images-2022)) +- 1st prize ($350): [Mahdi Loutfi](/team/mahdi-loutfi) ([presentation](/publications/a-compliant-package-with-international-standards-for-radiomics-analysis-of-medical-images-2022)) - 2nd prize ($250): [Olivier Lefebvre](/team/olivier-lefebvre) ([presentation](/publications/precision-analysis-of-predictive-uncertainty-of-machine-learning-models-in-medical-context-2022)) - Prize "coup de coeur" ($100): [Hakima Laribi](/team/hakima-laribi) ([presentation](/publications/graph-neural-networks-for-predicting-patient-mortality-within-one-year-of-hospital-admission-2022)) diff --git a/src/content/community/news/2024-07-05-post-arxiv.md b/src/content/community/news/2024-07-05-post-arxiv.md index 0dcfbdd..61eb1aa 100644 --- a/src/content/community/news/2024-07-05-post-arxiv.md +++ b/src/content/community/news/2024-07-05-post-arxiv.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ ![Radiomics complexity preprint featured image](/images/albums/2024-07-05-post-arxiv/featured.png) -Congratulations to [Mahdi Ait Lhaj Loutfi](/team/mahdi-ait-lhaj-loutfi), +Congratulations to [Mahdi Loutfi](/team/mahdi-loutfi), [Teodora Boblea Podasca](/team/teodora-boblea-podasca), and [Martin Vallières](/team/martin-vallieres) for the publication of their paper entitled "Unraveling Radiomics Complexity: Strategies for Optimal Simplicity in Predictive Modeling" on arXiv. diff --git a/src/content/community/news/2024-08-20-mall-msc.md b/src/content/community/news/2024-08-20-mall-msc.md index e1c7458..2b992be 100644 --- a/src/content/community/news/2024-08-20-mall-msc.md +++ b/src/content/community/news/2024-08-20-mall-msc.md @@ -1,9 +1,9 @@ ![Thesis defense celebration featured image](/images/albums/2024-08-20-mall-msc/featured.jpg) -Congratulations to [Mahdi Ait Lhaj Loutfi](/team/mahdi-ait-lhaj-loutfi) for having successfully completed his +Congratulations to [Mahdi Loutfi](/team/mahdi-loutfi) for having successfully completed his thesis defense with the mention of excellence.

Radiomics, the extraction of quantitative data from medical imaging, could help address this challenge. This study aimed to build a classification model using CT-scan radiomics and/or clinical features to distinguish clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) from other histologies. + +**Methods** + +The study included patients who underwent surgery for suspected localized renal cell carcinoma. A total of 345 masses were included, 72% of which were ccRCC and 28% of which had other histologies. Clinical data were extracted, and each renal mass was manually segmented on CT and contrast-enhanced CT (CECT). A total of 171 radiomics features were extracted from each lesion. The dataset was randomly split into a learning set (80%) and a hold-out set (20%). The learning set was further divided into 10 subsets, each split into training (80%) and testing (20%) sets, and used to train and test 10 independent machine learning models using the XGBoost algorithm. The best model was subsequently validated on the hold-out set. + +**Results** + +The CECT-based radiomics model showed the best performance, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.80, sensitivity of 67%, and specificity of 77%. Adding clinical features to the model did not improve its performance. On the hold-out set, the final model achieved an AUC of 0.88, with 56% sensitivity and 93% specificity. + +**Conclusions** + +The radiomics-based classification model showed high performance in differentiating ccRCC from other histologies using CECT scans. These findings support the role of radiomics as a potential non-invasive tool in kidney cancer management. However, external validation on independent cohorts is needed before clinical application. + +## Links + +- [World Journal of Urology](https://doi.org/10.1007/s00345-026-06296-2) diff --git a/src/content/publications/unraveling-radiomics-complexity-strategies-for-optimal-simplicity-in-predictive-modeling-2024.md b/src/content/publications/unraveling-radiomics-complexity-strategies-for-optimal-simplicity-in-predictive-modeling-2024.md index 80d005f..20b41c1 100644 --- a/src/content/publications/unraveling-radiomics-complexity-strategies-for-optimal-simplicity-in-predictive-modeling-2024.md +++ b/src/content/publications/unraveling-radiomics-complexity-strategies-for-optimal-simplicity-in-predictive-modeling-2024.md @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ ## Authors -- [Mahdi Ait Lhaj Loutfi](/team/mahdi-ait-lhaj-loutfi)1 +- [Mahdi Loutfi](/team/mahdi-loutfi)1 - [Teodora Boblea Podasca](/team/teodora-boblea-podasca)2 - Alex Zwanenburg3,4,5,6 - Taman Upadhaya7 diff --git a/src/data/courses.json b/src/data/courses.json index 2214f8a..0b95ca6 100644 --- a/src/data/courses.json +++ b/src/data/courses.json @@ -1,4 +1,19 @@ [ + { + "title": "MDPH 610: Instrumentation and Computation in Medical Physics", + "summary": "A course on electronics, computer programming, and instrumentation as applied to medical physics.", + "slug": "mdph-610-instrumentation-and-computation-in-medical-physics", + "markdown": "community/courses/mdph-610-instrumentation-and-computation-in-medical-physics.md", + "authors": ["Martin Vallières"], + "sessions": ["Winter 2027"], + "links": [ + { + "label": "View in McGill Course Catalogue", + "url": "https://coursecatalogue.mcgill.ca/courses/mdph-610/" + } + ], + "institution": "McGill" + }, { "title": "IMN 714 : Extraction de caractéristiques d’images médicales", "summary": "Extraction de caractéristiques d'images médicales", diff --git a/src/data/events.json b/src/data/events.json index c03a23b..09b93e4 100644 --- a/src/data/events.json +++ b/src/data/events.json @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ { "title": "Thesis Defense: Analyzing the complexity of radiomics: Approaches for simplified modeling", "slug": "2024-08-20-msc-mall", - "contributors": ["Mahdi Ait Lhaj Loutfi"], + "contributors": ["Mahdi Loutfi"], "markdown": "community/events/2024-08-20-msc-mall.md" } ] diff --git a/src/data/news.json b/src/data/news.json index c8b6779..fdabc09 100644 --- a/src/data/news.json +++ b/src/data/news.json @@ -2,6 +2,20 @@ { "year": "2026", "months": [ + { + "month": "February", + "items": [ + { + "title": "Publication of the article \"Optimizing renal mass histology prediction with artificial intelligence using handcrafted radiomics\"", + "slug": "2026-02-25-post-renal-mass-radiomics", + "contributors": [ + "Mahdi Loutfi", + "Martin Vallières" + ], + "markdown": "community/news/2026-02-25-post-renal-mass-radiomics.md" + } + ] + }, { "month": "March", "items": [ @@ -49,9 +63,9 @@ "month": "August", "items": [ { - "title": "Mahdi Ait Lhaj Loutfi successfully defended his thesis", + "title": "Mahdi Loutfi successfully defended his thesis", "slug": "2024-08-20-mall-msc", - "contributors": ["Mahdi Ait Lhaj Loutfi"], + "contributors": ["Mahdi Loutfi"], "markdown": "community/news/2024-08-20-mall-msc.md" } ] @@ -68,7 +82,7 @@ { "title": "Publication of the article “Unraveling Radiomics Complexity: Strategies for Optimal Simplicity in Predictive Modeling” on arXiv", "slug": "2024-07-05-post-arxiv", - "contributors": ["Mahdi Ait Lhaj Loutfi", "Teodora Boblea Podasca", "Martin Vallières"], + "contributors": ["Mahdi Loutfi", "Teodora Boblea Podasca", "Martin Vallières"], "markdown": "community/news/2024-07-05-post-arxiv.md" } ] @@ -154,7 +168,7 @@ { "title": "Several awards won at CIRIUS Science Day 2022", "slug": "2022-10-20-cirius", - "contributors": ["Hakima Laribi", "Olivier Lefebvre", "Mahdi Ait Lhaj Loutfi"], + "contributors": ["Hakima Laribi", "Olivier Lefebvre", "Mahdi Loutfi"], "markdown": "community/news/2022-10-20-cirius.md" } ] @@ -193,7 +207,7 @@ { "title": "Participation in the RBIQ 2022 Scientific Day", "slug": "2022-06-02-rbiq", - "contributors": ["Mahdi Ait Lhaj Loutfi"], + "contributors": ["Mahdi Loutfi"], "markdown": "community/news/2022-06-02-rbiq.md" } ] diff --git a/src/data/publications.json b/src/data/publications.json index 79fa22b..6a93d39 100644 --- a/src/data/publications.json +++ b/src/data/publications.json @@ -2,6 +2,24 @@ { "year": "2026", "items": [ + { + "title": "Optimizing renal mass histology prediction with artificial intelligence using handcrafted radiomics", + "slug": "optimizing-renal-mass-histology-prediction-with-artificial-intelligence-using-handcrafted-radiomics-2026", + "contributors": [ + "Teodora Boblea Podasca", + "Mahdi Loutfi", + "Marc-Antoine Blais", + "Marie-Lou Gadoury-Campbell", + "Stéphanie Boulet", + "Martin Vallières", + "Patrick O.
