Abstract

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality around the world, the early diagnosis of lung cancer plays a very important role in therapeutic regimen selection. However, lung cancers are spatially and temporally heterogeneous; this limits the use of invasive biopsy. But radiomics which refers to the comprehensive quantification of tumour phenotypes by applying a large number of quantitative image features has the ability to capture intra-tumoural heterogeneity in a non-invasive way. Here we carry out a radiomic analysis of 150 features quantifying lung tumour image intensity, shape and texture. These features are extracted from 593 patients computed tomography (CT) data on Lung Image Database Consortium Image Database Resource Initiative (LIDC-IDRI) dataset. By using support vector machine, we find that a large number of quantitative radiomic features have diagnosis power. The accuracy of prediction of malignant of lung tumor is 86% in training set and 76.1% in testing set. As CT imaging of lung tumor is widely used in routine clinical practice, our radiomic classifier will be a valuable tool which can help clinical doctor diagnose the lung cancer.
