Objectives: To investigate potential diagnostic model for predicting benign or malignant status of subcentimeter pulmonary ground-glass nodules (SPGGNs) (<= 1cm) based on CT texture analysis. Methods: A total of 89 SPGGNs from 89 patients were included; 51 patients were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, and 38 were diagnosed with inflamed or infected benign SPGGNs. Analysis Kit software was used to manually delineate the volume of interest of lesions and extract a total of 396 quantitative texture parameters. The statistical analysis was performed using R software. The SPGGNs were randomly divided into a training set (n = 59) and a validation set (n = 30). All pre-normalized (Z-score) feature values were subjected to dimension reduction using the LASSO algorithm,and the most useful features in the training set were selected. The selected imaging features were then combined into a Rad-score, which was further assessed by ROC curve analysis in the training and validation sets. Results: Four characteristic parameters (ClusterShade_ AllDirection_offset4_SD, ShortRunEmphasis_angle45_offsetl, Maximum3DDiameter, SurfaceVolumeRatio) were further selected by LASSO (p < 0.05). As a cluster of imaging biomarkers, the above four parameters were used to form the Rad-score. The AUC for differentiating between benign and malignant SPGGNs in the training set was 0.792 (95% CI: 0.671, 0.913), and the sensitivity and specificity were 8610 and 65.20%, respectively. The AUC in the validation set was 72.9% (95% CI: 0.545, 0.913), and the sensitivity and specificity were 86.70 and 60%, respectively. Conclusion: The present diagnostic model based on the cluster of imaging biomarkers can preferably distinguish benign and malignant SPGGNs (<= 1 cm). Advances in knowledge: Texture analysis based on CT images provide a new and credible technique for accurate identification of subcentimeter pulmonary ground-glass nodules.
