A radiomics approach for automated diagnosis of ovarian neoplasm malignancy in computed tomography

Abstract This paper develops a two-dimensional (2D) radiomics approach with computed tomography (CT) to differentiate between benign and malignant ovarian neoplasms. A retrospective study was conducted from July 2017 to June 2019 for 134 patients with surgically-verified benign or malignant ovarian...
