We implemented a radiomic analysis of the APTw images, and found that the average sensitivity and AUC of the selected radiomic feature models for brain tumor grading were significantly higher than that of conventional mean APTw image intensities.

Figure 3. a: The average ROC curves of a representative 5-fold stratified cross-validation from radiomic analysis (red line) and coventional mean APTw signals (blue line). b: The pooled ROC curves (mean ± standard deviation) from 100 runs of the 5-fold stratified cross-validation, in which the red curves referred to results from radiomic analysis and blue curves denoted results from conventional mean APTw signals.
