| Sumario: | Abstract MR Radiomics based on cervical lesions from one single scanner has achieved promising results. However, it is a challenge to achieve clinical translation. Considering multi-scanners and non-uniform scanning parameters from different centers in a real-world medical scenario, we should first identify the influence of such conditions on the robustness of MR radiomics features (RFs) based on the female cervix. In this study, 9 healthy female volunteers were enrolled and 3 kiwis were selected as references. Each of them underwent T2 weighted imaging in three different 3.0-T MR scanners with uniform acquisition parameters, and in one MR scanner with various scanning parameters. A total of 396 RFs were extracted from their images with and without decile intensity normalization. The RFs’ reproducibility was evaluated by coefficient of variation (CV) and quartile coefficient of dispersion (QCD). Representative features were selected using the hierarchical cluster analysis and their discrimination abilities were estimated by ROC analysis through retrospective comparison with the junctional zone and the outer muscular layer of healthy cervix in patients (n = 58) with leiomyoma. This study showed that only a few RFs were robust across different MR scanners and acquisition parameters based on females’ cervix, which might be improved by decile intensity normalization method. |
