Methods Our study included 121 patients with locally recurrent HGGs after maximum safe surgical resections and radiotherapy combined with temozolomide (training set, n = 84; validation set, n = 37). Local recurrence was divided into intra-resection cavity recurrence (ICR) and extra-resection cavity recurrence (ECR), according to the distance between the recurrent tumor and the surgical area or resection cavity. Radiomic features were extracted from the lesion habitat (T1WI enhancing lesion and T2WI/FLAIR hyperintense perilesional region) on contrast-enhanced T1WI and FLAIR, respectively. The LASSO was used to select radiomic features and calculate radiomics score. Logistic regression analysis was used to construct a predictive radiomics model, which was evaluated using calibration curves and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results Seven features with nonzero coefficients related to spatial recurrence patterns were selected. The radiomics score of patients with ECR was higher than that of patients with ICR in the training set [0.424 (0.278–0.573) vs. -0.030 (-0.226-0.248), p < 0.001] and in the validation set [0.369 (0.258–0.487) vs. 0.277 (0.103–0.322), p = 0.033]. The radiomics model demonstrated good calibration and performed well in predicting ECR, with AUC values of 0.844 in the training set and 0.706 in the validation set. Conclusion Radiomics analysis of lesion habitat can preoperatively predict spatial patterns in locally recurrent HGGs, providing a basis for determining personalized treatment strategies for HGGs. glioma recurrence habitat magnetic resonance imaging radiomics Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Introduction High-grade gliomas (HGGs, WHO grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ) are highly heterogeneous tumors of the central nervous system. Despite standardized treatments, the prognosis of HGGs patients has not improved, with more than half of patients relapsing within 6–8 months after surgery [ 1 , 2 ]. The high recurrence rate is a critical factor affecting the prognosis of the patients. Recurrence of HGGs most commonly occurs locally within 2–3 cm of the resection cavity, and in a few cases far from the original resection cavity or surgical area [ 3 – 6 ]. What’s more, locally recurrent HGGs exhibits different spatial patterns. Based on postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), local recurrence can be divided into intra-resection cavity recurrence (ICR) and extra-resection cavity recurrence (ECR), according to the distances between the recurrent tumor and the resection cavity [ 3 ]. Wang et al. analyzed that the spatial recurrence patterns and prognosis in 69 patients with locally recurrent HGGs and revealed patients with ICR had longer prognosis than patients with ECR [ 7 ]. Currently, the treatment of recurrent HGGs is dominated by individualized therapy, and it has been reported that surgical resection of recurrent glioblastoma may help to prolong patients’ overall survival [ 8 ]. Thus, early prediction of the spatial recurrence patterns may help to individualize patient treatment and improve prognosis. Previous studies have shown that molecular pathological markers and clinical factors were related to spatial recurrence patterns [ 5 , 9 – 13 ]. However, there is a lack of imaging markers for preoperative non-invasive prediction of spatial recurrence patterns of HGGs. MRI is the main non-invasive imaging tool for the HGGs management, which plays an important role in diagnosis, efficacy evaluation and follow-up. Previous studies have shown that certain MRI features, such as subventricular zone (SVZ) involvement, ventricular entry, and T2-weighted-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2WI/FLAIR) abnormal transformation, are associated with recurrence patterns [ 12 , 14 – 16 ]. However, subjective judgment by radiologists is susceptible to interobserver variability, which affects the accuracy and reliability of the assessment results. In contrast, radiomics overcomes this problem by high-throughput extraction and analysis of quantitative image features from many medical images to correlate with clinical outcomes [ 17 , 18 ]. In addition, radiomics can more accurately reflect tumor heterogeneity by segmenting tumor subregion regions of interest (ROI). Ismail et al. [ 19 ] segmented the lesion habitat and found that 3D shape features of the enhancing lesion on T1WI, and T2WI/FLAIR hyperintensities could distinguish tumor progression and pseudoprogression. Habitat-based MRI radiomics have also been shown to predict MGMT promoter methylation and prognosis in astrocytoma [ 20 ]. To the best of our knowledge, a few studies have reported on the prediction of recurrence patterns in HGGs based on radiomic features [ 21 , 22 ]. These studies suggest that habitat-based radiomics may be equally applicable to preoperative prediction of spatial recurrence patterns in HGGs. Therefore, this study aims to preoperatively predict spatial patterns in locally recurrent high-grade gliomas (HGGs) based on lesion habitat radiomics analysis of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to evaluate the predictive performance of this approach. Materials and Methods Patients This study was performed in line with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Approved by the institutional review board of the Army Medical Center of the PLA, and requirement of written informed consent was waived (Date November 9, 2022 /No.2022 − 325). We performed this study on patients with locally recurrent HGGs after maximum safe surgical resections and radiotherapy combined with temozolomide between January 2012 and October 2021. Patients who met the following inclusion criteria were enrolled in our study: (1) had histopathological confirmation of newly diagnosed HGGs according to the 2016 WHO classification criteria without evidence of subarachnoid dissemination on MRI; (2) had no history of chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment before preoperative imaging; (3) underwent preoperative MRI, including T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), T2WI/FLAIR imaging, and contrast-enhanced (CE) T1WI; (4) underwent maximum safe surgical resection and radiotherapy combined with temozolomide; and (5) aged > 18 years. Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) infratentorial HGGs; (2) low-quality MR images, including noise and artifacts; (3) loss of follow-up; (4) no recurrence during the follow-up; and (5) non-locally recurrent HGGs. Follow-up All patients underwent CE-MRI or CT or both 24–72 h postoperatively and were followed up with CE-MRI every 3–6 months. The patients were followed until death or the study cutoff time (October 2023). The evidence of tumor recurrence included (1) patients who underwent reoperation to confirm recurrence, (2) continuous CE-MRI according to the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology criteria, or (3) multimodal MRI to rule out radiation necrosis or pseudoprogression. Magnetic resonance imaging protocols MRI was performed using a 3.0-T MR scanner (Verio, Siemens Healthcare) with an 8-channel head coil. The MRI sequence included T1WI (repetition time (TR), 250 ms, time of echo (TE), 2.67 ms, matrix, 320 × 256, slice thickness, 5 mm, and field of view (FOV), 230 mm × 230 mm), T2WI (TR, 4 900 ms, TE, 100 ms, matrix, 320 × 320, slice thickness, 5 mm, FOV, 230 mm × 230 mm), T2WI/FLAIR (TR, 8 000 ms, TE, 94 ms, matrix, 256 × 256, slice thickness, 5 mm, FOV, 230 mm × 230 mm, inversion time (TI), 2 370 ms), CE-T1WI (the parameters were consistent with those of T1WI). Gadolinium contrast agent (gadopentetate glucosamine, Gd-DTPA) was used for the enhancement sequence, and the dose was 0.2 mL/kg by intravenous injection with a flow rate of 3 mL/s. Qualitative analysis of magnetic resonance images Two radiologists (with 5 and 11 years of work experience, respectively) independently evaluated spatial recurrence patterns and radiological features. If there were any disputes, a consensus was reached after discussing with another radiologist (with 14 years of work experience). The spatial recurrence patterns assessment process was as follows: (1) The surgical region was evaluated using CE-MRI and CT at 24–72 h postoperatively, and changes in the surgical region and formation of the resection cavity were observed during the follow-up CE-MRI. (2) The spatial pattern of locally recurrent HGGs was assessed based on the distance between the location of the recurrent tumor and the surgical region or surgical resection cavity [ 3 ]. The spatial pattern of local recurrence was divided into ICR and ECR [ 7 ]. ICR was defined as recurrence in the resection cavity or the surgical region. ECR was defined as recurrence at the edge or within 2 cm of the resection cavity or surgical region. (3) For excessively extensive recurrent lesions, we determined the spatial recurrence pattern by sequential CE-MRI, which showed the tendency of recurrent lesions to grow into or out of the resection cavity. Ventricular entry was defined as intraoperative access to the ventricle and was confirmed after seeing that the ventricle was connected to the resection cavity on the postoperative MRI. SVZ involvement was defined as enhanced tumor contact with the lateral ventricular edge. Cortex infiltration was defined as enhanced tumor involvement in the cerebral cortex. Radiomics analysis The workflow of the radiomics analysis included image segmentation, radiomics feature extraction, feature selection, and model construction and evaluation (Fig. 1 a). Image segmentation All digital imaging and communication in medicine (DICOM) data were converted to the neuroimaging informatics technology initiative format using MRIcroGL ( https://www.nitrc.org/projects/mricrogl/ ). Initial segmentation was performed using an unsupervised automated segmentation method provided by ONCOhabitats [ 23 ] ( https://www.oncohabitats.upv.es/ ). The automated segmentation process of brain tumors was as follows: (1) Preprocessing: Images were corrected for magnetic bias field inhomogeneities, noise, or spike artifacts. Consistent multiparameter high-quality brain images were generated through skull stripping, automated registration, brain extraction, and intensity normalization, (2) Segmentation: A 3D Convolutional Neural Network classifier based on the U-Net architecture was used to segment the intratumoral region. Then, a radiologist (11 years of work experience) used ITK-SNAP software (version 3.8, www.itksnap.org ) to re-evaluate and validate the images and generate the final volume of interest. Radiomics feature extraction Before feature extraction, all images were resampled to a voxel size of 1.0 mm × 1.0 mm × 1.0 mm, and the bin width of the grey level histogram was fixed at 25 to discretize the images. This was done to avoid the influence of different MR reconstruction parameters. Feature extraction was performed using the pyradiomics within Python (version 3.7.0) [ 24 ]. The extracted radiomics features included the following seven classes: first order statistics, shape-based 3D and 2D, grey level cooccurrence matrix (GLCM), grey level run length matrix (GLRLM), grey level size zone matrix (GLSZM), neighboring gray tone difference matrix (NGTDM), and gray level dependence matrix (GLDM). A total of 2446 radiomic features were extracted from the T1WI enhancing lesion and T2WI/FLAIR hyperintense perilesional region on CE-T1WI and FLAIR, respectively. The features complied with feature definitions described by the Imaging Biomarker Standardization Initiative. Feature selection All radiomic features were normalized by Z-score normalization. The Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method were used to select nonzero coefficients of ECR related features from the radiomics features of the training set. After that, a formula was constructed using the linear combination of features with nonzero coefficients weighted by their respective LASSO coefficients. The formula was used to calculate the radiomics score for each patient to reflect the risk of ECR, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the radiomics score for the two spatial recurrence patterns in the training and validation sets. Radiomics nomogram construction and evaluation The radiomics score were analyzed using logistic regression analysis to predict ECR in the training set. In addition, a radiomics nomogram was constructed, and a calibration curve was used to assess the calibration of the nomogram. The goodness-of-fit of the nomogram was assessed using the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was calculated to quantify the predictive performance of the nomogram. The validation set was used for the internal validation of the nomogram. Calibration and Hosmer-Lemeshow tests were performed, and the AUC was calculated. Statistical analysis Statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences for Windows, version 26.0 (IBM SPSS Statistics, IBM Corp), R software, version 4.2.1 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Boston, MA, USA), and MedCalc software, version 20.116 (MedCalc Software Ltd, Belgium). The difference in continuous variables was first tested using the normal distribution and homogeneity of variance. If both were satisfied, the t -test was used; if not, the Mann-Whitney U test was used. The Chi-squared or Fisher’s exact test was used for categorical tests. Penalty parameter tuning in the LASSO logistic regression model was selected using minimum criteria with 10-fold cross-validation. The LASSO logistic regression model analysis was performed using the "glmnet" package, MedCalc software plotted the ROC curves, and the "car" package established the regression model. Logistic regression analysis to identify the predictors of spatial recurrence patterns. Radiomics nomogram construction and calibration plots were performed using the "rms" package. A two-tailed p value of < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results Patient characteristics A total of 121 patients with local recurrence (mean age, 50.84 ± 14.35 years, 72 men) were included after screening according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria (Fig. 1 b), comprising 54 patients with ICR (Fig. 2 a) and 67 patients with ECR (Fig. 2 b). The cohort was randomly divided into training ( n = 84, mean age, 50.31 ± 14.56 years, 49 men) and validation sets ( n = 37, mean age, 52.05 ± 13.95 years, 23 men) at a 7:3 ratio. Patients with ECR formed 56.0% (47/84) and 54.1% (20/37) of the training and validation sets, respectively, and there were no significant differences between the sets ( p = 0.847). Clinical information (age, sex, and preoperative Karnofsky Performance Scale score), pathological characteristics (WHO grade, isocitrate dehydrogenase mutation status, and Ki-67), and radiological features (tumor side, tumor location, ventricular entry, SVZ involvement, and cortex infiltrated) in the training and validation sets are summarized in Table 1 and Supplementary Table 1 . In the training and validation sets, there were no differences in patient characteristics between ICR and ECR, except for ventricular entry in the training sets ( p 0.05).

Feature selection and radiomics score The Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis and the LASSO logistic regression model was used in the training set to screen the seven features with nonzero coefficients related to spatial recurrence patterns (Figs. 3 a and 3 b). The weights of the nonzero coefficients and radiomics score calculation formula are shown in Supplementary Table 2 . Notably, there was a significant difference in the radiomics score between ICR and ECR ( p < 0.001), which was subsequently confirmed in the validation set. The radiomics score of patients with ECR were higher than those of patients with ICR (Figs. 3 c and 3 d). The radiomics score in the ICR and ECR patient groups in the training set were − 0.030 (-0.226-0.248) vs 0.424 (0.278–0.573), respectively, p < 0.001. The radiomics score in the ICR and ECR patient groups in the validation set were 0.277 (0.103–0.322) vs 0.369 (0.258–0.487), respectively, p = 0.033. The radiomics score of each patient in the training and validation sets is respectively shown in Figs. 3 e and 3 f. Construction and validation of radiomics nomogram for spatial recurrence patterns The logistic regression analysis results showed that radiomics score ( p < 0.001) were independent factors for predicting spatial recurrence patterns. Thus, we constructed a radiomics nomogram based on these findings (Fig. 4 a). The calibration curve and nonsignificant Hosmer-Lemeshow test ( p = 0.453) showed that the training set had good calibration (Fig. 4 b). Similarly, the predictive model showed performed well with an AUC of 0.844 (95%CI: 0.749–0.914, sensitivity: 100.00%; specificity: 59.46%) in the training set (Fig. 4 d). In particular, the good calibration and nonsignificant Hosmer-Lemeshow test ( p = 0.434) of the radiomics nomogram were validated by the validation set (Fig. 4 c). The AUC of the validation set was 0.706 (95%CI: 0.534–0.844, sensitivity: 70.00%; specificity: 76.47%) (Fig. 4 e). Discussion In this study, preoperative radiomics analysis was used to integrate radiomic features from T1WI enhancing lesion and T2WI/FLAIR hyperintense perilesional region on CE-T1WI and T2WI/FLAIR images to predict spatial patterns in locally recurrent HGGs. Moreover, we developed and validated a radiomics nomogram model for predicting spatial recurrence patterns of HGGs and found that the model had good calibration and predictive performance. Local recurrence is the most common pattern of recurrence in HGGs, accounting for approximately 80% of all recurrences. Petrecca et al. analyzed the recurrence patterns of 20 patients with glioblastoma after total resection plus standard treatment and found that 17 patients (17/20, 85%) had tumor recurrence at the resection margin [ 25 ]. Despite total resection of the enhanced tumor, it was observed that most recurrent tumors occur at the margin of surgical resection[ 26 ], suggesting that local recurrence still exhibits different spatial recurrence patterns. Therefore, in this study, we divided local recurrence into ICR and ECR based on the relationship between the recurrent tumor and the surgical area or surgical resection cavity. Wang et al. reported that spatial recurrence patterns (ICR and ECR) were associated with prognosis in patients with locally recurrent HGGs after maximum safety resection and chemoradiotherapy [ 7 ]. Moreover, developing individualized treatment plans based on recurrence patterns may improve the prognosis of patients with HGGs. Previous studies have reported that extended resection of FLAIR abnormalities in patients with glioblastoma could prolong survival [ 27 – 29 ]. Thus, if patients with high risk of ECR can be preoperatively predicted, expanding the extent of resection may benefit patient survival. Besides, if patients are at high risk of ICR, increasing the local radiotherapy dose may improve their prognosis. Preoperative non-invasive prediction of spatial recurrence patterns in patients with HGGs is important for clinical decision-making. Glioma recurrence is associated with tumor heterogeneity, which is manifested on imaging as enhanced tumor and T2WI/FLAIR hyperintense perilesional region [ 30 , 31 ]. However, it is not easy to accurately assess tumor aggressiveness using conventional imaging processing methods. Radiomics is an emerging field that transforms medical images into massive amounts of quantitative data to reveal disease information. Compared to traditional imaging methods, radiomics can provide objective and quantitative image information about the lesion, independent of the individual subjective judgment and experience of radiologist. Previous studies have shown that radiomics has high diagnostic performance in predicting the recurrence pattern of glioblastoma [ 21 , 22 ]. Among them, Shim et al. [ 22 ] established a model of dynamic sensitivity contrast-enhanced MRI using a radiomic-based neural network, and predicted the AUC of local recurrence to be 0.969. However, the study of a multimodal MRI radiomics model to predict the spatial recurrence pattern of local recurrence has not been reported. In this study, we investigated the spatial pattern of local recurrence and attempted to identify the value of radiomic features in predicting the spatial patterns of local recurrence. The integrated radiomics features of T1WI and T2WI/FLAIR can more comprehensively reflect the characteristics of the tumor microenvironment, predict tumor invasion and the recurrence patterns. In addition, as in previous studies, we segmented lesion habitats, including T1WI enhancing lesion and T2WI/FLAIR hyperintense perilesional region, to better capture tumor heterogeneity [ 19 ]. Therefore, we developed a prediction of the spatial recurrence pattern based on radiomics score of enhance lesions and T2WI/FLAIR hyperintense perilesional region. This study demonstrated that in both the training and validation sets, the radiomics score for ECR was higher than for ICR and the radiomics score showed a good predictive performance. The radiomics score consisted of 7 radiomics features, including two first-order statistical and five texture features. Among these features, the one with the highest weight coefficient was GLCM, followed by GLSZM, both of which are texture features. Texture features detect potential tumor infiltration by reflecting the heterogeneity of gliomas [ 30 ]. This indicated that the preoperative tumor heterogeneity of ECR was higher than that of ICR, and that ECR tumors have a higher potential for outward invasion before surgery. We then used logistic regression analysis to construct a radiomics nomogram. The predictive performance of the constructed radiomics nomogram in the training and validation sets were good. The radiomics analysis of multimodal MRI based on lesion habitat can reflect the preoperative tumor heterogeneity of HGGs with different spatial recurrence patterns, and predict ECR and ICR. Limitations This study has some limitations. First, this study was based on conventional MRI, and future studies may apply more advanced MR sequences to improve the model performance. Second, the model has only been validated internally and lacks external validation. In order to promote the clinical application of our model, it is necessary to conduct multi-center studies with larger sample sizes for validation. Finally, we use logistic regression to construct predictive model, while other machine learning methods, such as support vector machine, K-nearest neighbor classifier, and Gaussian naive Bayes can also be used to filter the best model. In the future, more machine learning methods need to be established to explore the optimal radiomics model. Conclusion Our study showed that radiomic features extracted from T1WI enhancing lesion and T2WI/FLAIR hyperintense perilesional region on CE-T1WI and FLAIR images can be used noninvasively to preoperatively predict spatial patterns in locally recurrent HGGs, providing a basis for determining personalized treatment strategies for HGGs.

Despite standardized treatments, the prognosis of HGGs patients has not improved, with more than half of patients relapsing within 6\u0026ndash;8 months after surgery [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e]. The high recurrence rate is a critical factor affecting the prognosis of the patients.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecurrence of HGGs most commonly occurs locally within 2\u0026ndash;3 cm of the resection cavity, and in a few cases far from the original resection cavity or surgical area [\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR4 CR5\" citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e]. What\u0026rsquo;s more, locally recurrent HGGs exhibits different spatial patterns. Based on postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), local recurrence can be divided into intra-resection cavity recurrence (ICR) and extra-resection cavity recurrence (ECR), according to the distances between the recurrent tumor and the resection cavity [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e]. Wang et al. analyzed that the spatial recurrence patterns and prognosis in 69 patients with locally recurrent HGGs and revealed patients with ICR had longer prognosis than patients with ECR [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e]. Currently, the treatment of recurrent HGGs is dominated by individualized therapy, and it has been reported that surgical resection of recurrent glioblastoma may help to prolong patients\u0026rsquo; overall survival [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e]. Thus, early prediction of the spatial recurrence patterns may help to individualize patient treatment and improve prognosis. Previous studies have shown that molecular pathological markers and clinical factors were related to spatial recurrence patterns [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR10 CR11 CR12\" citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e13\u003c/span\u003e]. However, there is a lack of imaging markers for preoperative non-invasive prediction of spatial recurrence patterns of HGGs.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMRI is the main non-invasive imaging tool for the HGGs management, which plays an important role in diagnosis, efficacy evaluation and follow-up. Previous studies have shown that certain MRI features, such as subventricular zone (SVZ) involvement, ventricular entry, and T2-weighted-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2WI/FLAIR) abnormal transformation, are associated with recurrence patterns [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e12\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR15\" citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e14\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e16\u003c/span\u003e]. However, subjective judgment by radiologists is susceptible to interobserver variability, which affects the accuracy and reliability of the assessment results. In contrast, radiomics overcomes this problem by high-throughput extraction and analysis of quantitative image features from many medical images to correlate with clinical outcomes [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR17\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e17\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR18\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e18\u003c/span\u003e]. In addition, radiomics can more accurately reflect tumor heterogeneity by segmenting tumor subregion regions of interest (ROI). Ismail et al.

Thus, we constructed a radiomics nomogram based on these findings (Fig.\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Fig4\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003ea).

Moreover, we developed and validated a radiomics nomogram model for predicting spatial recurrence patterns of HGGs and found that the model had good calibration and predictive performance.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLocal recurrence is the most common pattern of recurrence in HGGs, accounting for approximately 80% of all recurrences. Petrecca et al. analyzed the recurrence patterns of 20 patients with glioblastoma after total resection plus standard treatment and found that 17 patients (17/20, 85%) had tumor recurrence at the resection margin [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR25\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e25\u003c/span\u003e]. Despite total resection of the enhanced tumor, it was observed that most recurrent tumors occur at the margin of surgical resection[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR26\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e26\u003c/span\u003e], suggesting that local recurrence still exhibits different spatial recurrence patterns. Therefore, in this study, we divided local recurrence into ICR and ECR based on the relationship between the recurrent tumor and the surgical area or surgical resection cavity. Wang et al. reported that spatial recurrence patterns (ICR and ECR) were associated with prognosis in patients with locally recurrent HGGs after maximum safety resection and chemoradiotherapy [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e]. Moreover, developing individualized treatment plans based on recurrence patterns may improve the prognosis of patients with HGGs. Previous studies have reported that extended resection of FLAIR abnormalities in patients with glioblastoma could prolong survival [\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR28\" citationid=\"CR27\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e27\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR29\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e29\u003c/span\u003e]. Thus, if patients with high risk of ECR can be preoperatively predicted, expanding the extent of resection may benefit patient survival. Besides, if patients are at high risk of ICR, increasing the local radiotherapy dose may improve their prognosis. Preoperative non-invasive prediction of spatial recurrence patterns in patients with HGGs is important for clinical decision-making.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlioma recurrence is associated with tumor heterogeneity, which is manifested on imaging as enhanced tumor and T2WI/FLAIR hyperintense perilesional region [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR30\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e30\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR31\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e31\u003c/span\u003e]. However, it is not easy to accurately assess tumor aggressiveness using conventional imaging processing methods. Radiomics is an emerging field that transforms medical images into massive amounts of quantitative data to reveal disease information. Compared to traditional imaging methods, radiomics can provide objective and quantitative image information about the lesion, independent of the individual subjective judgment and experience of radiologist. Previous studies have shown that radiomics has high diagnostic performance in predicting the recurrence pattern of glioblastoma [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR21\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e21\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR22\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e22\u003c/span\u003e]. Among them, Shim et al. [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR22\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e22\u003c/span\u003e] established a model of dynamic sensitivity contrast-enhanced MRI using a radiomic-based neural network, and predicted the AUC of local recurrence to be 0.969. However, the study of a multimodal MRI radiomics model to predict the spatial recurrence pattern of local recurrence has not been reported. In this study, we investigated the spatial pattern of local recurrence and attempted to identify the value of radiomic features in predicting the spatial patterns of local recurrence. The integrated radiomics features of T1WI and T2WI/FLAIR can more comprehensively reflect the characteristics of the tumor microenvironment, predict tumor invasion and the recurrence patterns. In addition, as in previous studies, we segmented lesion habitats, including T1WI enhancing lesion and T2WI/FLAIR hyperintense perilesional region, to better capture tumor heterogeneity [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR19\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e19\u003c/span\u003e]. Therefore, we developed a prediction of the spatial recurrence pattern based on radiomics score of enhance lesions and T2WI/FLAIR hyperintense perilesional region. This study demonstrated that in both the training and validation sets, the radiomics score for ECR was higher than for ICR and the radiomics score showed a good predictive performance.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe radiomics score consisted of 7 radiomics features, including two first-order statistical and five texture features. Among these features, the one with the highest weight coefficient was GLCM, followed by GLSZM, both of which are texture features. Texture features detect potential tumor infiltration by reflecting the heterogeneity of gliomas [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR30\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e30\u003c/span\u003e]. This indicated that the preoperative tumor heterogeneity of ECR was higher than that of ICR, and that ECR tumors have a higher potential for outward invasion before surgery. We then used logistic regression analysis to construct a radiomics nomogram. The predictive performance of the constructed radiomics nomogram in the training and validation sets were good. The radiomics analysis of multimodal MRI based on lesion habitat can reflect the preoperative tumor heterogeneity of HGGs with different spatial recurrence patterns, and predict ECR and ICR.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec18\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eLimitations\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis study has some limitations. First, this study was based on conventional MRI, and future studies may apply more advanced MR sequences to improve the model performance. Second, the model has only been validated internally and lacks external validation. In order to promote the clinical application of our model, it is necessary to conduct multi-center studies with larger sample sizes for validation. Finally, we use logistic regression to construct predictive model, while other machine learning methods, such as support vector machine, K-nearest neighbor classifier, and Gaussian naive Bayes can also be used to filter the best model. In the future, more machine learning methods need to be established to explore the optimal radiomics model.\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e"},{"header":"Conclusion","content":"\u003cp\u003eOur study showed that radiomic features extracted from T1WI enhancing lesion and T2WI/FLAIR hyperintense perilesional region on CE-T1WI and FLAIR images can be used noninvasively to preoperatively predict spatial patterns in locally recurrent HGGs, providing a basis for determining personalized treatment strategies for HGGs.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Abbreviations","content":"\u003cp\u003eAUC \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCE \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;Contrast-enhanced\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eECR \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; Extra-resection cavity recurrence\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFOV \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; Field of view\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGd-DTPA \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; Gadopentetate glucosamine,\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHGGs \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; High-grade gliomas\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eICR \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; Intra-resection cavity recurrence\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMRI \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;Magnetic resonance imaging\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRANO \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eROI \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; Regions of interest\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSVZ \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;Subventricular zone\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eT2WI/FLAIR \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eT1WI \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;T1-weighted imaging\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTE \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; Time of echo\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTI \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;Inversion time\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTR \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; Repetition time\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Declarations","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunding:\u003c/strong\u003e This work was supported by Chongqing medical scientific research project (No.2023MSXM009), by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No.81701661) and by Science and Technology planning project of Chongqing Clinical Research Centre of Imaging and Nuclear Medicine (No. CSTC2015YFPT-gcjsyjzx0175).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeclaration of Competing Interest:\u003c/strong\u003e The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Contributions\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll authors contributed to the study conception and design.

Local recurrence was divided into intra-resection cavity recurrence (ICR) and extra-resection cavity recurrence (ECR), according to the distance between the recurrent tumor and the surgical area or resection cavity. Radiomic features were extracted from the lesion habitat (T1WI enhancing lesion and T2WI/FLAIR hyperintense perilesional region) on contrast-enhanced T1WI and FLAIR, respectively. The LASSO was used to select radiomic features and calculate radiomics score. Logistic regression analysis was used to construct a predictive radiomics model, which was evaluated using calibration curves and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResults\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeven features with nonzero coefficients related to spatial recurrence patterns were selected.
