Workflow of radiomics analysis for predicting the prognosis of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The steps were: (1) Three-dimensional manual segmentation on Ktrans and Ve images, (2) the calculation of six types of features for each patient from the defined segmentation, (3) LASSO Cox regression for feature selection and data dimension reduction, and (4) multivariate Cox regression to develop a radiomics nomogram model. Kaplan-Meier analyses were then performed to assess the prognostic value of the model. Abbreviations: VOI, volume of interest; GLSZM, gray-level size zone matrix; GLCM, gray-level co-occurrence matrix; RLM, run-length matrix; LASSO, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator; C-index, Harrell’s concordance index; K–M curve, Kaplan–Meier analysis curve.
