A transfer learning approach to facilitate ComBat-based harmonization of multicentre radiomic features in new datasets.

<h4>Purpose</h4>To facilitate the demonstration of the prognostic value of radiomics, multicenter radiomics studies are needed. Pooling radiomic features of such data in a statistical analysis is however challenging, as they are sensitive to the variability in scanner models, acquisition...
