Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The performance of 18 F-FDG PET-based radiomics and deep learning in detecting pathological regional nodal metastasis (pN+) in resectable lung adenocarcinoma varies, and their use across different generations of PET machines has not been thoroughly investigated. We compared handcrafted radiomics and deep learning using different PET scanners to predict pN+ in resectable lung adenocarcinoma.
