Abstract/Summary

Background!#!The purpose of this study was to analyze if the use of texture analysis on spectral detector CT (SDCT)-derived iodine maps (IM) in addition to conventional images (CI) improves lung nodule differentiation, when being applied to a k-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifier.!##!Methods!#!183 cancer patients who underwent contrast-enhanced, venous phase SDCT of the chest were included: 85 patients with 146 benign lung nodules (BLN) confirmed by either prior/follow-up CT or histopathology and 98 patients with 425 lung metastases (LM) verified by histopathology, !##!Results!#!Differentiation between BLN and LM was most accurate, when using all CI-derived features combined with the most significant IM-derived feature, entropy (Accuracy:0.87; F1/Dice:0.92). However, differentiation accuracy based on the 4 most powerful CI-derived features performed only slightly inferior (Accuracy:0.84; F1/Dice:0.89, p=0.125). Mono-parametric lung nodule differentiation based on either feature alone (i.e. attenuation or iodine concentration) was poor (AUC=0.65, 0.58, respectively).!##!Conclusions!#!First-order texture feature analysis of contrast-enhanced staging SDCT scans of the chest yield accurate differentiation between benign and metastatic lung nodules. In our study cohort, the most powerful iodine map-derived feature slightly, yet insignificantly increased classification accuracy compared to classification based on conventional image features only.
