| contents | Diagnostic imaging has gained prominence as potential biomarkers for early detection and diagnosis in a diverse array of disorders including cancer. However, existing methods routinely face challenges arising from various factors such as image heterogeneity. We develop a novel imaging-based distributional data analysis (DDA) approach that incorporates the probability (quantile) distribution of the pixel-level features as covariates. The proposed approach uses a smoothed quantile distribution (via a suitable basis representation) as functional predictors in a scalar-on-functional quantile regression model. Some distinctive features of the proposed approach include the ability to: (i) account for heterogeneity within the image; (ii) incorporate granular information spanning the entire distribution; and (iii) tackle variability in image sizes for unregistered images in cancer applications. Our primary goal is risk prediction in Hepatocellular carcinoma that is achieved via predicting the change in tumor grades at post-diagnostic visits using pre-diagnostic enhancement pattern mapping (EPM) images of the liver. Along the way, the proposed DDA approach is also used for case versus control diagnosis and risk stratification objectives. Our analysis reveals that when coupled with global structural radiomics features derived from the corresponding T1-MRI scans, the proposed smoothed quantile distributions derived from EPM images showed considerable improvements in sensitivity and comparable specificity in contrast to classification based on routinely used summary measures that do not account for image heterogeneity. Given that there are limited predictive modeling approaches based on heterogeneous images in cancer, the proposed method is expected to provide considerable advantages in image-based early detection and risk prediction. |
