Quantification of Cancer-Developing Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Using Whole-Lung Texture Analysis of HRCT Images

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients have a significantly higher risk of developing lung cancer (LC). There is only limited evidence of the use of texture-based radiomics features from high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images for risk stratification of IPF patients for LC. We retros...

Quantification of Cancer-Developing Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Using Whole-Lung Texture Analysis of HRCT Images
description Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients have a significantly higher risk of developing lung cancer (LC). There is only limited evidence of the use of texture-based radiomics features from high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images for risk stratification of IPF patients for LC. We retrospectively enrolled subjects who suffered from IPF in this study. Clinical data including age, gender, smoking status, and pulmonary function were recorded. Non-contrast chest CT for fibrotic score calculation and determination of three dimensional measures of whole-lung texture and emphysema were performed using a promising deep learning imaging platform.
