Prediction of radiation pneumonitis after definitive radiotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer using multi-region radiomics analysis.

ABSTRACT: To predict grade ≥ 2 radiation pneumonitis (RP) in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using multi-region radiomics analysis. Data from 77 patients with NSCLC who underwent definitive radiotherapy between 2008 and 2018 were analyzed. Radiomic feature extraction from the whole lung (whole-lung radiomics analysis) and imaging- and dosimetric-based segmentation (multi-region radiomics analysis) were performed. Patients with RP grade ≥ 2 or < 2 were classified. Predictors were selected with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator logistic regression and the model was built with neural network classifiers. A total of 49,383 radiomics features per patient image were extracted from the radiotherapy planning computed tomography. We identified 4 features and 13
