ABSTRACT
This study aims to evaluate the repeatability of radiomics and dosiomics features via image perturbation of patients with cervical cancer. A total of 304 cervical cancer patients with planning CT images and dose maps were retrospectively included. Random translation, rotation, and contour randomization were applied to CT images and dose maps before radiomics feature extraction. The repeatability of radiomics and dosiomics features was assessed using intra-class correlation of coefficient (ICC). Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was adopted to quantify the correlation between the image characteristics and feature repeatability. In general, the repeatability of dosiomics features was lower compared with CT radiomics features, especially after small-sigma Laplacian-of-Gaussian (LoG) and wavelet filtering. More repeatable features (ICC > 0.9) were observed when extracted from the original, Large-sigma LoG filtered, and LLL-/LLH-wavelet filtered images. Positive correlations were found between image entropy and high-repeatable feature number in both CT and dose (r = 0.56, 0.68). Radiomics features showed higher repeatability compared to dosiomics features. These findings highlight the potential of radiomics features for robust quantitative imaging analysis in cervical cancer patients, while suggesting the need for further refinement of dosiomics approaches to enhance their repeatability.
