Abstract
In this paper, radiomic features are used to validate the textural realism of two anthropomorphic phantoms for digital mammography. One phantom was based off a computational breast model; it was 3D printed by CIRS (Computerized Imaging Reference Systems, Inc., Norfolk, VA) under license from the University of Pennsylvania. We investigate how the textural realism of this phantom compares against a phantom derived from an actual patient’s mammogram (“Rachel”, Gammex 169, Madison, WI). Images of each phantom were acquired at three kV in 1 kV increments using auto-time technique settings. Acquisitions at each technique setting were repeated twice, resulting in six images per phantom. In the raw (“FOR PROCESSING”) images, 341 features were calculated; i.e., gray-level histogram, co-occurrence, run length, fractal dimension, Gabor Wavelet, local binary pattern, Laws, and co-occurrence Laws features. Features were also calculated in a negative screening population. For each feature, the middle 95% of the clinical distribution was used to evaluate the textural realism of each phantom. A feature was considered realistic if all six measurements in the phantom were within the middle 95% of the clinical distribution. Otherwise, a feature was considered unrealistic. More features were actually found to be realistic by this definition in the CIRS phantom (305 out of 341 features or 89.44%) than in the phantom derived from a specific patient’s
