    AbstractAims/Background Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is the main method to detect human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2) and Ki-67 expression levels. However, IHC is invasive and cannot reflect their expression status in real-time. This study aimed to build radiomics models based on visceral adipose tissue (VAT)'s 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging, and to evaluate the relationship between radiomics features of VAT and positive expression of Her-2 and Ki-67 in gastric cancer (GC). Methods Ninety patients with GC were enrolled in this study. 18F-FDG PET/CT radiomics features were calculated using the PyRadiomics package. Two methods were employed to reduce radiomics features. The machine learning models, logistic regression (LR), and support vector machine (SVM), were constructed and estimated by the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. The correlation of outstanding features with Ki-67 and Her-2 expression status was evaluated. Results For the Ki-67 set, the area under of the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) and accuracy were 0.86 and 0.79 for the LR model and 0.83 and 0.69 for the SVM model. For the Her-2 set, the AUC and accuracy were 0.84 and 0.86 for the LR model and 0.65 and 0.85 for the SVM model. The LR model for Ki-67 exhibited outstanding prediction performance. Three wavelet transform features were correlated with Her-2 expression status (p all < 0.001), and one wavelet transform feature was correlated with the expression status of Ki-67 (p = 0.042). Conclusion 18F-FDG PET/CT-based radiomics models of VAT demonstrate good performance in predicting Her-2 and Ki-67 expression status in patients with GC. Radiomics features can be used as imaging biomarkers for GC.
