Associations between radiologist-defined semantic and automatically computed radiomic features in non-small cell lung cancer

Abstract Tumor phenotypes captured in computed tomography (CT) images can be described qualitatively and quantitatively using radiologist-defined “semantic” and computer-derived “radiomic” features, respectively. While both types of features have shown to be promising predictors of prognosis, the as...

description Abstract Tumor phenotypes captured in computed tomography (CT) images can be described qualitatively and quantitatively using radiologist-defined “semantic” and computer-derived “radiomic” features, respectively.
