Figure 8.

The decision curve analysis (DCA) of the radiomics-based nomogram. The blue line describes the scheme of no treatment. The green line describes the scheme of treatment. The red line represents our personalized prediction model. The x-axis is the threshold probability and the y-axis is the net benefit. The decision curve shown by the pink line (our prediction model) received more net benefit when the threshold probability was larger than 0.15. Hence, if the patient would choose the treatment when his probability of cancer was larger than 15%, then he would receive benefit from taking our radiomics-based nomogram guidance.
