Acquisition repeatability of MRI radiomics features in the head and neck: a dual-3D-sequence multi-scan study.

ABSTRACT: Radiomics has increasingly been investigated as a potential biomarker in quantitative imaging to facilitate personalized diagnosis and treatment of head and neck cancer (HNC), a group of malignancies associated with high heterogeneity. However, the feature reliability of radiomics is a major obstacle to its broad validity and generality in application to the highly heterogeneous head and neck (HN) tissues. In particular, feature repeatability of radiomics in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition, which is considered a crucial confounding factor of radiomics feature reliability, is still sparsely investigated. This study prospectively investigated the acquisition repeatability of 93 MRI radiomics features in ten HN tissues of 15 healthy volunteers, aiming for potential magnetic reson
