Reproducibility of lung nodule radiomic features: Multivariable and univariable investigations that account for interactions between CT acquisition and reconstruction parameters.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Recent studies have demonstrated a lack of reproducibility of radiomic features in response to variations in CT parameters. In addition, reproducibility of radiomic features has not been well established in clinical datasets. We aimed to investigate the effects of a wide range of CT acquisition and reconstruction parameters on radiomic features in a realistic setting using clinical low dose lung cancer screening cases. We performed univariable and multivariable explorations to consider the effects of individual parameters and the simultaneous interactions between three different acquisition/reconstruction parameters of radiation dose level, reconstructed slice thickness, and kernel.

Method

A cohort of 89 lung cancer screening patients were collected that each had a s
