In Vivo Repeatability and Multiscanner Reproducibility of MRI Radiomics Features in Patients With Monoclonal Plasma Cell Disorders

In vivo, only few RFs are reproducible with different MRI sequences or different MRI scanners, even after application of a simple image normalization. Radiomics features selected by a repeatability experiment only are not necessarily suited to build radiomics models for multicenter clinical application. This study isolated a subset of RFs, which are robust to variations in MRI acquisition observed in scanners from 1 vendor, and therefore are candidates to build reproducible radiomics models for monoclonal plasma cell disorders for multicentric applications, at least when centers are equipped with scanners from this vendor.
