Title
Image-based computer-aided prognosis of lung cancer: predicting patient recurrent-free survival via a variational Bayesian mixture modeling framework for cluster analysis of CT histograms
Abstract
In this paper, we present a computer-aided prognosis (CAP) scheme that utilizes quantitatively derived image information to predict patient recurrent-free survival for lung cancers. Our scheme involves analyzing CT histograms to evaluate the volumetric distribution of CT values within pulmonary nodules. A variational Bayesian mixture modeling framework translates the image-derived features into an image-based risk score for predicting the patient recurrence-free survival. Using our dataset of 454 patients with NSCLC, we demonstrate the potential usefulness of the CAP scheme which can provide a quantitative risk score that is strongly correlated with prognostic factors.
