Abstract
The importance of radiomics features for predicting patient outcome is now well-established. Early study of prognostic features can lead to a more efficient treatment personalisation. For this reason new radiomics features obtained through mathematical morphology-based operations are proposed. Their study is conducted on an open database of patients suffering from Nonsmall Cells Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC). The tumor features are extracted from the CT images and analyzed via PCA and a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis in order to select the most relevant ones. Among the 1,589 studied features, 32 are found relevant to predict patient survival: 27 classical radiomics features and five MM features (including both granularity and morphological covariance features). These features will contribute towards the prognostic models, and eventually to clinical decision making and the course of treatment for patients.
