1 Volumetric Measurement of Tumors David F. Yankelevitz, MD

2 Why Measure Tumor Volumes? Surrogate for knowing the amount of viable tumor Implied is this: –Larger volumes, therefore progression –Smaller volumes, therefore response

3 How do we measure volumes? Surrogates –Uni-dimension (RECIST) –Bi-dimension (WHO) –Tri-dimension Genuine volume measurements

4 Advantages of Volume Measurements Greater proportional change –26% diameter increase corresponds to 100% volume increase Measurement of asymmetric growth Tumor volume doubling time

5 Days to ERCT from initial CT Initial nodule diameter (mm) Doubling time (days) 3090120150180 281012.41 (24 vs 93%) 10.7510.5510.4410.37 (4 vs 12%) Expected Change in Diameter

6 Asymmetric Growth SPN (6.9 mm) at baseline and 36 days later Virtually unchanged according to 2D metrics Apparently benign (DT=9700) Area: 36.5 mm 2 Perimeter: 22.7 mm Length: 8.27 mm Width: 5.62 mm Area: 36.6 mm 2 Perimeter: 23.4 mm Length: 8.23 mm Width: 5.66 mm

7 Volumetric Analysis 3D analysis reveals significant growth along scanner axis! (DT = 104, malignant)

8 8 mm Stable Nodule

9 Volumetric Growth Rate Analysis 8 mm stable pulmonary nodule at baseline and 181 days later MVGI = 0.57%

10 10 mm Malignant Nodule

11 Volumetric Growth Rate Analysis 10 mm malignant pulmonary nodule at baseline and 32 days later MVGI = 22.0% -- Squamous Cell Carcinoma

12 Inputs Into Volume Estimates Accuracy of measuring device (machine) –Inplane (x,y), out of plane (z) Ability to define borders of target (anatomic) –Removal of attached structures CAD –Defining edges Margin of tumor Adjacent edema/inflammation –Stability of structures

76 Review of Literature Limited data on comparison of 3D volume measurements to 2D or 1D, notably for large lesions Most report that volume is better for large ‘well-defined’ abnormalities Limited impact on change in category for RECIST

77 Summary Technology has greatly improved –Measuring device –Image processing Little work has been done in regard to complex abnormalities Potential to markedly improve response estimates

78 Volumetric Measurement of In Vivo Nodules Although we had quantified the relative error in phantom nodule measurement by size, the error for in vivo nodules must be greater –partial volume –vascular geometry –motion artifacts

79 Assessment of In Vivo Volume Estimates Rescanning in short interval –Smallest change in true nodule volume –Difficult study due to dose concerns Stable nodules –Scans more easily obtained (screening) –Accounts for small errors in patient positioning and scanner calibration drift

80 Cases 262 HRCT scans of 120 stable nodules –Standard dose, small FOV, HRCT –Nodules 2-11 mm in diameter –Determination of stability based on radiologist evaluation over period of 2 or more years –Assessment of technical artifacts Incomplete acquisition System error –Assessment of motion artifacts Five-point scale Patient motion (gross movement, respiration) Cardiac motion 20 HRCT scans of 10 malignant nodules

90 Comparison of MVGI Values All of the stable nodules had values within two standard deviations of the corresponding mean value by size, while each of the 10 malignant nodules exceeded that corresponding value.

91 Conclusions The mean value of MVGI for stable nodules was 0.06% and its standard error was 0.21%. All of the stable nodules had values within two standard deviations of the corresponding mean value by size, while each of the 10 malignant nodules exceeded that corresponding value. Conclusion: Three-dimensional computer methods can be used to reliably characterize growth in small solid pulmonary nodules. Factors affecting the reproducibility of growth rate estimates include the initial nodule size, the timing of the follow-up scan, and the presence of patient-induced or technical artifacts.
