ABSTRACT: Background
This study aimed to identify optimal combinations between feature selection methods and machine-learning classifiers for predicting the metabolic response of individual metastatic breast cancer lesions, based on clinical variables and radiomic features extracted from pretreatment [18F]F-FDG PET/CT images.Methods
A total of 48 patients with confirmed metastatic breast cancer, who received different treatments, were included. All patients had an [18F]F-FDG PET/CT scan before and after the treatment. From 228 metastatic lesions identified, 127 were categorized as responders (complete or partial metabolic response) and 101 as non-responders (stable or progressive metabolic response), by using the percentage changes in SULpeak (peak standardized
