Effect of magnetic field strength and segmentation variability on the reproducibility and repeatability of radiomic texture features in cardiovascular magnetic resonance parametric mapping.

ABSTRACT: Our study aims to assess the robustness of myocardial radiomic texture features (RTF) to segmentation variability and variations across scanners with different field strengths, addressing concerns about reliability in clinical practices. We conducted a retrospective analysis on 45 pairs of CMR T1 maps from 15 healthy volunteers using 1.5 T and 3 T Siemens scanners. Manual left ventricular myocardium segmentation and a deep learning-based model with Monte Carlo Dropout generated masks with different levels of variability and 1023 RTFs extracted from each region of interest (ROI). Reproducibility: the extent to which RTFs extracted from 1.5 T and 3 T images are consistent, and repeatability: the extent to which RTFs extracted from multiple segmentation runs at the same field strength agree w
