Model3 | RF1 + RF2 (2L) | 141 | 24 | 0.776 ± 0.003 | 0.867 ± 0.008 |

Principal characteristics of each model developed. The type of features, the number of initial radiological features, and the final relevant radiological features after LASSO regression used for building each classifier are reported together with results of accuracy and AUC obtained in the test set. Mean and standard deviation values of results were calculated after a 4-fold cross-validation iterated ten times. aPatient age and sex were added as clinical metrics in all models. AUC Area under the receiving operating characteristic curve, 2L Two lungs, GS Geometrical subdivisions, QM Quantitative metrics, RF1 First-order radiomic features, RF2 Second-order radiomic features
