Summary

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel imaging biomarker of lung cancer relapse from 3–D texture analysis of CT images. Three–dimensional morphological nodular tissue properties are described in terms of 3–D Riesz–wavelets. The responses of the latter are aggregated within nodular regions by means of feature covariances, which leverage rich intra– and inter– variations of the feature space dimensions. When compared to the classical use of the average for feature aggregation, feature covariances preserve spatial co–variations between features. The obtained Riesz–covariance descriptors lie on a manifold governed by Riemannian geometry allowing geodesic measurements and diffe...
