Haralick texture features from apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) MRI images depend on imaging and pre-processing parameters
Abstract In recent years, texture analysis of medical images has become increasingly popular in studies investigating diagnosis, classification and treatment response assessment of cancerous disease. Despite numerous applications in oncology and medical imaging in general, there is no consensus rega...
