Prospects and Challenges of Radiomics by Using Nononcologic Routine Chest CT.

ABSTRACT: Chest CT scans are one of the most common medical imaging procedures. The automatic extraction and quantification of imaging features may help in diagnosis, prognosis of, or treatment decision in cardiovascular, pulmonary, and metabolic diseases. However, an adequate sample size as a statistical necessity for radiomics studies is often difficult to achieve in prospective trials. By exploiting imaging data from clinical routine, a much larger amount of data could be used than in clinical trials. Still, there is only little literature on the implementation of radiomics in clinical routine chest CT scans. Reasons are heterogeneous CT scanning protocols and the resulting technical variability (eg, different slice thicknesses, reconstruction kernels or timings after contrast material administra
