Robustness and performance of radiomic features in diagnosing cystic renal masses.

AUC ranged for the robust and uncorrelated features from 0.83 ± 0.09 to 0.93 ± 0.04 and for the first-order features from 0.84 ± 0.09 to 0.91 ± 0.04. Our study indicates that the first-order features alone are sufficient for the classification of CRMs, and that inclusion of higher-order features does not necessarily improve performance.
