• Abstract: Establishing the reproducibility of radiomic signatures is a critical step in the path to clinical adoption of quantitative imaging biomarkers; however, radiomic signatures must also be meaningfully related to an outcome of clinical importance to be of value for personalized medicine. In this study, we analyze both the reproducibility and prognostic value of radiomic features extracted from the liver parenchyma and largest liver metastases in contrast enhanced CT scans of patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). A prospective cohort of 81 patients from two major US cancer centers was used to establish the reproducibility of radiomic features extracted from images reconstructed with different slice thicknesses. A publicly available, single-center cohort of 197 preoperative scans from patients who underwent hepatic resection for treatment of CRLM was used to evaluate the prognostic value of features and models to predict overall survival. A standard set of 93 features was extracted from all images, with a set of eight different extractor settings. The feature extraction settings producing the most reproducible, as well as the most prognostically discriminative feature values were highly dependent on both the region of interest and the specific feature in question. While the best overall predictive model was produced using features extracted with a particular setting, without accounting for reproducibility, (C-index = 0.630 (0.603--0.649)) an equivalent-performing model (C-index = 0.629 (0.605--0.645)) was produced by pooling features from all extraction settings, and thresholding features with low reproducibility ($\mathrm{CCC} \geq 0.85$), prior to feature selection. Our findings support a data-driven approach to feature extraction and selection, preferring the inclusion of many features, and narrowing feature selection based on reproducibility when relevant data is available.

  The high dimensionality of radiomic feature sets, the variability in radiomic feature types and potentially high computational requirements all underscore the need for an effective method to identify the smallest set of predictive features for a given clinical problem. We develop a methodology and tools to identify and explain the smallest set of predictive radiomic features.

  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.

  Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is one kind of treatment for advanced stage ovarian cancer patients. Partial responses to NACT may lead to suboptimal debulking surgery, which will result in adverse prognosis. We developed a novel image marker to achieve high accuracy prognosis prediction of NACT at an early stage.
