Table A2.

Details of the computed morphological parameters.

Attribute Explication
Area (f25) Number of pixels in the studied region.
Circularity (f26) This parameter compares the ROI shape and a cercle. It is computed as follows:
C=4Π x AreaPerimeter2
Eccentricity (f27) Eccentricity of the ellipse with the same second moments as the region.
Orientation (f28) Represented by the angle between the x-axis and the maximum diameter of the best ellipse having the same second-moments as the region.
Perimeter (f29) Distance around the region’s boundary.
Solidity (f30) Solidity=Mask AreaArea of the convex envelope
Roundness (f31) This factor is used to describe the shape and can be represented by this formula:
4 × AreaΠ × maximum diameter2
-Roundness is close to 1 with circular shape
-Roundness is close to r1r2 in the case of elliptical shape
-Otherwise: irregular shape
Such as r1 and r2 represent respectively half of the minor axis and the major axis
ENC (f32) Elliptical Normalized Circumference: We compare the bladder mask’s shape with ellipse closest to its shape.
ENC=Best ellipse perimeterROI perimeter
Ratio between the major and the minor axis lengths (f33) This Ratio between the maximum width and the maximum length characterizes the external bladder shape.
