Comparison of 2D and 3D radiomics features with conventional features based on contrast-enhanced CT images for preoperative prediction the risk of thymic epithelial tumors

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate 2-Dimensional (2D) and 3-Dimensional (3D) radiomics signatures based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) images for preoperative prediction of the thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) risk and compare the predictive performance with conventional CT features.
