Abstract :
[en] Handcrafted radiomic features (HRFs) are quantitative imaging features extracted from regions of interest on medical images which can be correlated with clinical outcomes and biologic characteristics. While HRFs have been used to train predictive and prognostic models, their reproducibility has been reported to be affected by variations in scan acquisition and reconstruction parameters, even within the same imaging vendor. In this work, we evaluated the reproducibility of HRFs across the arterial and portal venous phases of contrast-enhanced computed tomography images depicting hepatocellular carcinomas, as well as the potential of ComBat harmonization to correct for this difference. ComBat harmonization is a method based on Bayesian estimates that was developed for gene expression arrays, and has been investigated as a potential method for harmonizing HRFs. Our results show that the majority of HRFs are not reproducible between the arterial and portal venous imaging phases, yet a number of HRFs could be used interchangeably between those phases. Furthermore, ComBat harmonization increased the number of reproducible HRFs across both phases by 1%. Our results guide the pooling of arterial and venous phases from different patients in an effort to increase cohort size, as well as joint analysis of the phases.
