Using Texture Analysis to Determine Human Papillomavirus Status of Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinomas on CT.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Human papillomavirus-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is increasing in prevalence and typically occurs in younger patients than human papillomavirus-negative squamous cell carcinoma. While imaging features of human papillomavirus-positive versus human papillomavirus-negative squamous cell carcinoma nodal metastases have been described, characteristics distinguishing human papillomavirus-positive from human papillomavirus-negative primary squamous cell carcinomas have not been well established. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the use of texture features to distinguish human papillomavirus-positive and human papillomavirus-negative primary oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
