Results
SUV
max
, SUV
peak
, Homogeneity and SRE computed in VOI-L
were significantly different between the two devices
(p<0.05). These p-values suggested that data coming from
the two PET devices can therefore not be gathered.
In G1, the best 4-feature signature was a combination of
Entropy, SUV
mean
, SUV
max
and SRE (AUC=0.77) and in G2, a
combination of SUV
peak
, Homogeneity, LGZE, HGZE
(AUC=0.86). G2 signature was validated in G1 with
AUC=0.76 and was significantly more powerful than SUV
max
according to Delong’s test (p=0.02). G1 signature was not
validated in G2, yielding to an AUC less than that obtained
with SUV
max
only.
Conclusion
Some conventional and textural features are strongly
dependent on the PET device and acquisition parameters
such as voxel size. A robustness analysis should be
performed before each multi-centric radiomic study, to
evaluate the possibility of gathering data from different
devices. Multivariate analysis showed that radiomic
features can predict LACC local recurrence with a better
accuracy than SUV
max
for recent PET devices. The creation
of an external validation cohort is in progress to confirm
the results.

Purpose or Objective
For external beam radiotherapy of prostate cancer
patients, the information from pre-treatment MRIs can
give patient specific and visual evaluation of suspected
pathologically involved volumes in the seminal vesicles
(SV) as an important addition to probability based
nomograms [1]. We investigate the impact of
individualized PTV margins around the SV based on MRI
information.
