To develop prognostic models for survival (alive or deceased status) prediction of COVID-19 patients using clinical data (demographics and history, laboratory tests, visual scoring by radiologists) lung/lesion radiomic features extracted from chest CT images. Overall, 152 were enrolled in this study protocol. These divided into 106 training/validation 46 test datasets (untouched during training), respectively. Radiomic the segmented lungs infectious lesions separately Clinical data,...
To investigate the impact of harmonization on performance CT, PET, and fused PET/CT radiomic features toward prediction mutations status, for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene (KRAS) genes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.Radiomic were extracted from tumors delineated wavelet images obtained 136 histologically proven NSCLC patients. Univariate multivariate predictive models developed using before after ComBat to predict EGFR KRAS...
Robust differentiation between infarcted and normal tissue is important for clinical diagnosis precision medicine. The aim of this work to investigate the radiomic features develop a machine learning algorithm myocardial infarction (MI) viable tissues/normal cases in left ventricular myocardium on non-contrast Cine Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (Cine-CMR) images.Seventy-two patients (52 with MI 20 healthy control patients) were enrolled study. MR imaging was performed 1.5 T MRI using following...
Objectives We evaluate the feasibility of treatment response prediction using MRI‐based pre‐, post‐, and delta‐radiomic features for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients treated by neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT). Materials Methods This retrospective study included 53 LARC divided into a training set (Center#1, n = 36) external validation (Center#2, 17). T2‐weighted (T2W) MRI was acquired all patients, 2 weeks before 4 after nCRT. Ninety‐six radiomic features, including...
We aimed to analyze the prognostic power of CT-based radiomics models using data 14,339 COVID-19 patients.
We developed multi-modality radiomic models by integrating information extracted from18F-FDG PET and CT images using feature- image-level fusions, toward improved prognosis for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients. Two independent cohorts of NSCLC patients from two institutions (87 95 patients) were cycled as training testing datasets. Fusion approaches applied at levels, namely image-levels. For feature-level fusion, features individually concatenated. Alternatively, separately...
AimsDespite the promising results achieved by radiomics prognostic models for various clinical applications, multiple challenges still need to be addressed. The two main limitations of include information limitation owing single imaging modalities and selection optimum machine learning feature methods considered modality outcome. In this work, we applied several single-modality positron emission tomography (PET) computed (CT) multimodality PET/CT fusion identify best combinations different...
Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the value of clinical, radiomic features extracted from gross tumor volumes (GTVs) delineated on CT images, dose distributions (Dosiomics), and fusion predict outcomes in head neck cancer (HNC) patients. Methods A cohort 240 HNC patients five different centers was obtained The Cancer Imaging Archive. Seven strategies, including four non-fusion (Clinical, CT, Dose, DualCT-Dose), three algorithms (latent low-rank representation referred...
Abstract This study investigated the impact of ComBat harmonization on reproducibility radiomic features extracted from magnetic resonance images (MRI) acquired different scanners, using various data acquisition parameters and multiple image pre-processing techniques a dedicated MRI phantom. Four scanners were used to acquire an nonanatomic phantom as part TCIA RIDER database. In fast spin-echo inversion recovery (IR) sequences, several durations employed, including 50, 100, 250, 500, 750,...
Purpose Non–small cell lung cancer is the most common subtype of cancer. Patient survival prediction using machine learning (ML) and radiomics analysis proved to provide promising outcomes. However, studies reported in literature focused on information extracted from malignant lesions. This study aims explore relevance additional value healthy organs addition tumoral tissue ML algorithms. Patients Methods included PET/CT images 154 patients collected available online databases. The gross...
Purpose To assess the repeatability of radiomic features in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging glioblastoma (GBM) tumors with respect to test–retest, different image registration approaches and inhomogeneity bias field correction.

Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) provides much more information compared to non-enhanced CT images, especially for the differentiation of malignancies, such as liver carcinomas. Contrast media injection phase is usually missing on public datasets and not standardized in clinic even same region language. This a barrier effective use available CECT images clinical research.
