Classification of anatomic structures in head and neck by CT-based radiomics [PDF]
Background and Purpose: Radiomics features are used to identify disease types and predict therapy outcomes. However, how the radiomics features are different among different anatomical structures has never been investigated. Hence, we analyzed the radiomics features of 22 anatomical structures in the head and neck area in CT images.
