Comparison of diagnostic accuracy of radiomics parameter maps and standard reconstruction for the detection of liver lesions in computed tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The liver is a frequent location of metastatic disease in various malignant tumor entities. Computed tomography (CT) is the most frequently employed modality for initial diagnosis. However, liver metastases may only be delineated vaguely on CT. Calculating radiomics features in feature maps can unravel textures not visible to the human eye on a standard CT reconstruction (SCTR). This study aimed to investigate the comparative diagnostic accuracy of radiomics feature maps and SCTR for liver metastases.

Materials and methods

Forty-seven patients with hepatic metastatic colorectal cancer were retrospectively enrolled. Whole-liver maps of original radiomics features were generated. A representative feature was selected for each feature class based on the visualization
