Table 1.

Candidate intensity histogram (IH) features of non-responders to radiotherapy as defined by 1-month post-treatment tumor volume regression (< 10% residual volume from baseline). Imaging biomarkers are sorted by decreasing AUC. Only those with p < 0.05 (not adjusted for multiple comparisons) are shown out of 75 IH features.
