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...

The radiomic signature was found to be highly discriminative according to the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for both the training set (AUC = 0.88), and the test set (AUC = 0.87). The radiomics nomogram also demonstrated good calibration and differentiation for both the training (AUC = 0.95) and test (AUC = 0.96) samples. External validation tests gave a good performance in radiomic signature (AUC = 0.83) and radiomics nomogram (AUC = 0.95). The decision curve explicitly indicated the clinical usefulness of our nomogram method in the sense that it can influence major clinical events such as the ordering or abortion of other tests, treatments or invasive procedures.
