Open-radiomics: A Research Protocol to Make Radiomics-based Machine Learning Pipelines Reproducible
share
The application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to medical imaging data has yielded promising results. As an important branch of AI pipelines in medical imaging, radiomics faces two major challenges namely reproducibility and accessibility. In this work, we introduce open-radiomics, a set of radiomics datasets, and a comprehensive radiomics pipeline that investigates the effects of radiomics feature extraction settings such as binWidth and image normalization on the reproducibility of the radiomics results performance. To make radiomics research more accessible and reproducible, we provide guidelines for building machine learning (ML) models on radiomics data, introduce Open-radiomics, an evolving collection of open-source radiomics datasets, and publish baseline models for the datasets.
