Abstract

PURPOSE: Adenocarcinoma (ADC) is the most common histological subtype of lung cancers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in which ground glass opacifications (GGOs) found on computed tomography (CT) scans are the most common lesions. However, the presence of a micropapillary or a solid component is identified as an independent predictor of prognosis, suggesting a more extensive resection. The purpose of our study is to explore imaging phenotyping using a method combining radiomics with deep learning (RDL) to predict high-grade patterns within lung ADC.
