CT radiomics and human-machine hybrid system for differentiating mediastinal lymphomas from thymic epithelial tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is difficult for radiologists, especially junior radiologists with limited experience to make differential diagnoses between mediastinal lymphomas and thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) due to the overlapping imaging features. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a CT-based clinico-radiomics model for differentiating lymphomas from TETs and to investigate whether a human-machine hybrid system can assist junior radiologists in improving their diagnostic performance.

Methods

The patients who underwent contrast-enhanced chest CT and pathologically confirmed with lymphoma or TET at two centers from January 2011 to December 2019 and from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively included and split as training/validation set and external test s
