Integrating Radiomic Image Analysis in the Hero Imaging Platform

We present the integration of radiomic image analysis in the Hero Imaging platform. We created a SPAARC node on Hero Imaging Platform, which facilitates access to SPAARC’s cutting-edge functionality with the visual programming simplicity of the Hero Imaging platform. Subsequently, we validated the reliability of the SPAARC_Hero using the IBSI validation dataset of multimodal imaging (CT, F18-FDG -PET, and T1w MRI) comprising 51 patients with soft-tissue sarcoma. This validation involved evaluation of the ICC of SPAARC_Hero and two other IBSI compliant software, MIRP and SPAARC_MATLAB using IBSI 2 phase 3 configuration and Test cases. Out of the 486 extracted features, 462 were found to be reproducible across the three software, with lower bounds of 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of ICCs greater than 0.75. Our results verify the compliance of SPAARCHero with IBSI standard for Radiomics feature extraction.
