摘要
Abstract Background Radiomics is a noninvasive method using machine learning to support personalised medicine. Preprocessing filters such as wavelet and Laplacian-of-Gaussian filters are commonly used being thought to increase predictive performance. However, the use of preprocessing filters increases the number of features by up to an order of magnitude and can produce many correlated features. Both substantially increase the dataset complexity, which in turn makes modeling with machine learning techniques more challenging, possibly leading to poorer performance. We investigated the impact of these filters on predictive performance. Methods Using seven publicly available radiomic datasets, we measured the impact of adding features preprocessed with eight different preprocessing filters to the unprocessed features on the predictive performance of radiomic models. Modeling was performed using five feature selection methods and five classifiers, while predictive performance was measured using area-under-the-curve at receiver operating characteristics analysis (AUC-ROC) with nested, stratified 10-fold cross-validation. Results Significant improvements of up to 0.08 in AUC-ROC were observed when all image preprocessing filters were applied compared to using only the original features (up to p = 0.024). Decreases of -0.04 and -0.10 were observed on some data sets, but these were not statistically significant ( p > 0.179). Tuning of the image preprocessing filters did not result in decreases in AUC-ROC but further improved results by up to 0.1; however, these improvements were not statistically significant ( p > 0.086) except for one data set ( p = 0.023). Conclusions Preprocessing filters can have a significant impact on the predictive performance and should be used in radiomic studies.
