Computerized texture analysis of pulmonary nodules in pediatric patients with osteosarcoma: Differentiation of pulmonary metastases from non-metastatic nodules.

Pulmonary metastases from osteosarcoma could be differentiated from non-metastases by using computerized texture analysis. Higher mean attenuation and larger diameter were significant predictors for pulmonary metastases, while higher mean attenuation was a significant predictor for small non-calcified pulmonary metastases.
