Effects of MRI scanner parameters on breast cancer radiomics

作者：

Highlights：

• We studied the effect of different MRI scanner parameters on breast radiomics.

• We extracted 529 radiomic features from 272 breast cancer patients in our cohort.

• The radiomic features were categorized into relevant groups.

• Scanner parameters affected tissue radiomics more compared to tumor radiomics.
