External validation of a prognostic CT-based radiomic signature in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

CONCLUSION: Overall, the signature validated well using all CT images as-is, demonstrating a good model fit and preservation of discrimination. Even though CT artifacts were shown to be of influence, the signature had significant prognostic power regardless if patients with CT artifacts were included.
