Radiomics technology for identifying early-stage lung adenocarcinomas suitable for sublobar resection.
Early-stage lung adenocarcinomas that are suitable for limited resection to preserve lung function are difficult to identify. Using a radiomics approach, we investigated the efficiency of voxel-based histogram analysis of 3-dimensional computed tomography images for detecting less-invasive lesions suitable for sublobar resection. ⋯ Voxel-based histogram analysis of 3-dimensional computed tomography images accurately detected early-stage lung adenocarcinomas suitable for sublobar resection.
