Reproducible and Interpretable Spiculation Quantification for Lung Cancer Screening

Choi, W., Nadeem, S., Alam, S. R., Deasy, J. O., Tannenbaum, A., & Lu, W. (2020). Reproducible and Interpretable Spiculation Quantification for Lung Cancer Screening. Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 105839. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmpb.2020.105839 Source codes: https://github.com/choilab-jefferson/LungCancerScreeningRadiomics Highlights A novel interpretable spiculation feature is presented, computed using the area distortion metric from spherical conformal (angle-preserving) parameterization. A simple one-step feature and prediction model is introduced which only uses our interpretable features (size, spiculation, lobulation, vessel/wall attachment) and has the added advantage of using weak-labeled training data. ...
