Abstract

PURPOSE: The required training sample size for a particular machine learning (ML) model applied to medical imaging data is often unknown. The purpose of this study was to provide a descriptive review of current sample-size determination methodologies in ML applied to medical imaging and to propose recommendations for future work in the field.
