Radiomics-Assisted Computed Tomography-Based Analysis to Evaluate Lung Morphology Characteristics after Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia suffer from long-term morbidity, including lung function impairment. Our study aims to analyze lung morphology characteristics via radiomic-assisted extraction of lung features in patients after congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair. Materials and Methods: 72 patients were retrospectively analyzed after approval by the local research ethics committee. All the image data were acquired using a third-generation dual-source CT (SOMATOM Force, Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany). Dedicated software was used for image analysis, segmentation, and processing. Results: Radiomics analysis of pediatric chest CTs of patients with status after CDH was possible. Between the ipsilateral (side of the defect) and contralatera
