Table 5. Comparison of CV and QCD among first-order, texture, and wavelet features.
P value† | Standard-dose group | Low-dose group | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
CV | QCD | CV | QCD | ||
First-order vs. texture vs. wavelet | <0.001 | <0.001 | 0.04 | <0.001 | |
First-order vs. texture | 0.01 | 0.02 | 0.86 | 0.61 | |
First-order vs. wavelet | <0.001 | <0.001 | 0.03 | <0.001 | |
Texture vs. wavelet | 0.01 | <0.001 | 0.41 | 0.01 |
†, Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare CV and QCD among five reconstruction settings and Bonferroni method was used for pairwise comparisons. CV, coefficient of variation; QCD, quartile coefficient of dispersion.
