Objectives  This study sought to develop a multiparametric MRI radiomics-based machine learning model for the preoperative prediction of clinical success for high-intensity-focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of uterine leiomyomas.    Methods  One hundred and thirty patients who received HIFU ablation therapy for uterine leiomyomas were enrolled in this retrospective study. Radiomics features were extracted from T2-weighted (T2WI) image and ADC map derived from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). Three feature selection algorithms including least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), recursive feature elimination (RFE), and ReliefF algorithm were used to select radiomics features, respectively, which were fed into four machine learning classifiers including k-nearest neighbors (KNN), logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), and support vector machine (SVM) for the construction of outcome prediction models before HIFU treatment. The performance, predication ability, and clinical usefulness of these models were verified and evaluated using receiver operating characteristics (ROC), calibration, and decision curve analyses.    Results  The radiomics analysis provided an effective preoperative prediction for HIFU ablation of uterine leiomyomas. Using SVM with ReliefF algorithm, the multiparametric MRI radiomics model showed the favorable performance with average accuracy of 0.849, sensitivity of 0.814, specificity of 0.896, positive predictive value (PPV) of 0.903, negative predictive value (NPV) of 0.823, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.887 (95% CI = 0.848–0.939) in fivefold cross-validation, followed by RF with ReliefF. Calibration and decision curve analyses confirmed the potential of model in predication ability and clinical usefulness.    Conclusions  The radiomics-based machine learning model can predict preoperatively HIFU ablation response for the patients with uterine leiomyomas and contribute to determining individual treatment strategies.
