• Abstract: In this study we investigated the repeatability and reproducibility of radiomic features extracted from MRI images and provide a workflow to identify robust features. 2D and 3D T$_2$-weighted images of a pelvic phantom were acquired on three scanners of two manufacturers and two magnetic field strengths. The repeatability and reproducibility of the radiomic features were assessed respectively by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and concordance correlation coefficient (CCC), considering repeated acquisitions with or without phantom repositioning, and with different scanner/acquisition type, and acquisition parameters. The features showing ICC/CCC > 0.9 were selected, and their dependence on shape information (Spearman's $\rho$> 0.8) was analyzed. They were classified for their ability to distinguish textures, after shuffling voxel intensities. From 944 2D features, 79.9% to 96.4% showed excellent repeatability in fixed position across all scanners. Much lower range (11.2% to 85.4%) was obtained after phantom repositioning. 3D extraction did not improve repeatability performance. Excellent reproducibility between scanners was observed in 4.6% to 15.6% of the features, at fixed imaging parameters. 82.4% to 94.9% of features showed excellent agreement when extracted from images acquired with TEs 5 ms apart (values decreased when increasing TE intervals) and 90.7% of the features exhibited excellent reproducibility for changes in TR. 2.0% of non-shape features were identified as providing only shape information. This study demonstrates that radiomic features are affected by specific MRI protocols. The use of our radiomic pelvic phantom allowed to identify unreliable features for radiomic analysis on T$_2$-weighted images. This paper proposes a general workflow to identify repeatable, reproducible, and informative radiomic features, fundamental to ensure robustness of clinical studies.

  This study proposes Radiomics features as a superior measure for assessing the segmentation ability of physicians and auto-segmentation tools. Radiomics features, particularly those related to shape and energy, can capture subtle variations in tumor segmentation characteristics, unlike Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) Findings suggest that these new metrics can be employed to assess novel auto-segmentation methods and enhance the training of individuals in medical segmentation.
