Radiomics workflow. The upper panel illustrates the steps taken from manual segmentation of the carotid CTA images to create ROIs for single-slice analysis (and VOIs for multi-slice analysis) to segmentation mask perturbations, prior image normalisation or resegmentation and image quantisation. The lower panel outlines the subsequent process of radiomic features extraction, robustness analysis and machine learning for the differentiation of culprit versus non-culprit carotid arteries. The predictive ability of the classifiers was assessed via five-fold stratified cross-validation.
