Radiomics as prognostic factor in brain metastases treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery

ConclusionsThe zone percentage of brain metastases, a radiomic feature derived from pre-GKRS contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRIs, was found to be an independent prognostic factor of local tumor control following GKRS in patients with non-small cell lung cancer and brain metastases. Radiomic features indicate the biological basis and characteristics of tumors and could potentially be used as surrogate biomarkers for predicting tumor prognosis following GKRS.
