Effect of Blurring of Images on Their First Order Radiomic Features

Abstract

The effect of uniform blurring of images on their (statistical) radiomic features of the first order is studied. Two sets each consisting of 100 images with sizes of 100 by 100 and 700 by 700 are chosen as a dataset. Tables showing the effect of blurs on seventeen selected radiomic properties are given. The mean, variation and coefficient of variation of changes in the considered properties for various degrees of blurring are estimated. It is concluded that the most representative radiomic properties characterizing blurs are the mean, RMS and energy.
