Impacts of Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction-V and Deep Learning Image Reconstruction Algorithms on Robustness of CT Radiomics Features: Opportunity for Minimizing Radiomics Variability Among Scans of Different Dose Levels.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to investigate the influence of adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-V (ASIR-V) and deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) on CT radiomics feature robustness. A standardized phantom was scanned under single-energy CT (SECT) and dual-energy CT (DECT) modes at standard and low (20 and 10 mGy) dose levels. Images of SECT 120 kVp and corresponding DECT 120 kVp-like virtual monochromatic images were generated with filtered back-projection (FBP), ASIR-V at 40% (AV-40) and 100% (AV-100) blending levels, and DLIR algorithm at low (DLIR-L), medium (DLIR-M), and high (DLIR-H) strength levels. Ninety-four features were extracted via Pyradiomics. Reproducibility of features was calculated between standard and low dose levels, between reconstruction algorithms in reference t
