Background: Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression cannot currently be predicted through radiological findings. This study aimed to develop a prediction model capable of differentiating between positive and negative PD-L1 expression through a radiomics-based investigation of computed tomography (CT) images in patients with urothelial carcinoma.Methods: Sixty-four patients with urothelial carcinoma who underwent immunohistochemical testing for PD-L1 were retrospectively reviewed. The number of patients in the positive and negative PD-L1 groups (PD-L1 expression >5%) was 14 and 50, respectively. CT images obtained 90 seconds after contrast medium administration were selected for radiomic extraction. For all tumors, 1,691 radiomic features were extracted from CT using a manually segmented three-dimensional volume of interest. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify radiomic features that were significant predictors of PD-L1 expression. For the radiomics-based model, a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed. Results: Among 64 patients, 14 were included in the PD-L1 positive group. Logistic regression analysis found that the following radiomic features significantly predicted PD-L1 expression: wavelet-low-pass, low-pass, and high-pass filters (LLH)_gray-level size-zone matrix (GLSZM)_SmallAreaEmphasis, wavelet-LLH_firstorder_Energy, log-sigma-0-5-mm-3D_GLSZM_SmallAreaHighGrayLevelEmphasis, original_shape_Maximum2DDiameterColumn, wavelet-low-pass, low-pass, and low-pass filters (LLL)_gray-level run-length matrix (GLRLM)_ShortRunEmphasis, and exponential_firstorder_Kurtosis. The radiomics signature was –4.0934+21.6224 (wavelet-LLH_GLSZM_SmallAreaEmphasis)+0.0044 (wavelet-LLH_firstorder_Energy)–4.7389 (log-sigma-0-5-mm-3D_GLSZM_SmallAreaHighGrayLevelEmphasis)+0.0573 (original_shape_Maximum2DDiameterColumn)–29.5892 (wavelet-LLL_GLRLM_ShortRunEmphasis)–0.4324 (exponential_firstorder_Kurtosis). The area under the ROC curve model representing the radiomics signature for differentiating cases that were deemed PD-L1 positive based on immunohistochemistry was 0.96. Conclusions: This preliminary radiomics model derived from contrast-enhanced CT predicted PD-L1 positivity in patients with urothelial cancer.
