Utilization of texture features of volumetric ADC maps in differentiating between serous cystadenoma and intraductal papillary neoplasms

ConclusionA support vector machine model trained and validated on volumetric texture features extracted from ADC maps showed the possible beneficence of these features in differentiating IPMNs from SCAs. These results are in line with previous regarding the role of ADC maps in classifying cystic lesions and offers new evidence regarding the role of texture features in differentiation of potentially neoplastic and benign lesions.
