Classification of nasal polyps and inverted papillomas using CT-based radiomics

ConclusionsWe demonstrated that CT-based radiomics plays a crucial role in distinguishing IP from NP. It can provide added diagnostic value by distinguishing benign nasal lesions and reducing the need for invasive diagnostic procedures and may play a vital role in guiding personalized treatment strategies and developing optimal therapies.Critical relevance statementBased on the extraction of radiomic features of tumor regions from non-contrast CT, optimized by radiomics to achieve non-invasive classification of IP and NP which provide support for respective therapy of IP and NP.Key points• CT images are commonly used to diagnose IP and NP.• Radiomics excels in feature extraction and analysis.• CT-based radiomics can be applied to distinguish IP from NP.• Use multiple feature selection methods and classifier models.• Derived from real clinical cases with abundant data.Graphical Abstract
