Ultrasound radiomics features predicting the dosimetry for focused ultrasound surgery of benign breast tumor: A retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To investigate the correlation between pre-ablation ultrasound radiomics features and the sonication energy for focused ultrasound surgery (FUS) of benign breast tumors. Method: 53 benign breast tumors of 28 patients treated by ultrasound-guided focused ultrasound surgery (USgFUS) were included in this study. The sonication energy per unit volume of each tumor was calculated. Three-quarter point was chosen as the cut-off to divide the 53 included tumors into high sonication energy (HSE, n = 14) and low sonication energy (LSE, n = 39) groups. For each tumor, the region of interest (ROI) of both the tumor itself (tROI) and the near field tissue (nfROI) were delineated and analyzed separately using ImageJ software. Pearson correlation coefficient and multi
