Abstract
PURPOSE: Considerable progress has been made in the assessment and management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients based on mutation status in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene (KRAS). At the same time, NSCLC management through KRAS and EGFR mutation profiling faces challenges. In the present work, we aimed to evaluate a comprehensive radiomics framework that enabled prediction of EGFR and KRAS mutation status in NSCLC patients based on radiomic features from low-dose computed tomography (CT), contrast-enhanced diagnostic quality CT (CTD), and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging modalities and use of machine learning algorithms.
