Predicting vertebral compression fracture prior to spinal SBRT using radiomics from planning CT

ConclusionThe developed predictive model based on radiomics features extracted from pre-treatment planning CT images can accurately predict the likelihood of VCF prior to spinal SBRT. This model has significant implications for treatment planning and preventive measures for patients undergoing spinal SBRT. Future research can focus on improving model performance by incorporating new data and external validation using independent data sets.
