Cone ‐beam CT radiomics features might improve the prediction of lung toxicity after SBRT in stage I NSCLC patients

ConclusionsBoth pretreatment CT and CBCT radiomics features could predict disease progression and lung injury. A model with CBCT plus pretreatment CT radiomics features might improve the prediction of lung toxicity in comparison with a model with pretreatment CT features alone.Key pointsSignificant findings of the study: A model with cone ‐beam CT radiomics features plus pre‐treatment CT radiomics features might improve the prediction of lung toxicity after SBRT in stage I NSCLC patients.What this study adds: In the prediction of PFS and lung toxicity in early ‐stage NSCLC patients treated with SBRT, CBCT radiomics could be another effective method.
