Feature group | Feature name | Description | Coefficient |
---|---|---|---|
Shape | Maximum 2D diameter (column) | The largest pairwise Euclidean distance between tumor surface mesh vertices in the coronal plane | –0.1815 |
Least Axis Length | The smallest axis length of the ROI-enclosing ellipsoid | –0.241 | |
Elongation | Describes the relationship between the two largest principal components in the ROI shape | 0.379 | |
GLCM (gray-level co-occurrence matrix) | Inverse Difference Moment Normalized (IDMN), also denoted as homogeneity | Is a measure of the local homogeneity of an image (IDMN weights are the inverse of the contrast weights (decreasing exponentially from the diagonal i=j in the GLCM). It measures the smoothness (homogeneity) of the gray-level distribution of the image; it is (approximately) inversely correlated with contrast—if contrast is small, usually homogeneity or IDMN is large (39) | –0.7857 |
Difference Entropy | A measure of the randomness/variability in neighborhood intensity value differences; measures the degree of disorder related to the gray-level difference distribution of the image. Entropy is (approximately) inversely correlated with uniformity; images with a larger number of gray levels have larger entropy (39) | –0.4252 | |
Volume | –0.0458 |
