Radiomics-based analysis of CT imaging for the preoperative prediction of invasiveness in pure ground-glass nodule lung adenocarcinomas

Abstract

Key points Radiomics have potentials to differentiate the invasiveness of pGGNs lung adenocarcinoma. Clinical-radiographic feature adds discriminative value to radiomics in pGGNs pathological subtype. Combined clinical-radiographic-radiomic model can successfully stratify patients into noninvasive pGGNs and invasive pGGNs in patients with resectable lung adenocarcinoma.
