Abstract Defining the exact histological features of salivary gland malignancies before treatment remains an unsolved problem that compromises the ability to tailor further therapeutic steps individually. Radiomics, a new methodology to extract quantitative information from medical images, could contribute to characterizing the individual cancer phenotype already before treatment in a fast and non-invasive way. Consequently, the standardization and implementation of radiomic analysis in the clinical routine work to predict histology of salivary gland cancer (SGC) could also provide improvements in clinical decision-making. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential of radiomic features as imaging biomarker to distinguish between high grade and low-grade salivary gland malignancies. We have also investigated the effect of image and feature level harmonization on the performance of radiomic models. For this study, our dual center cohort consisted of 126 patients, with histologically proven SGC, who underwent curative-intent treatment in two tertiary oncology centers. We extracted and analyzed the radiomics features of 120 pre-therapeutic MRI images with gadolinium (T1 sequences), and correlated those with the definitive post-operative histology. In our study the best radiomic model achieved average AUC of 0.66 and balanced accuracy of 0.63. According to the results, there is significant difference between the performance of models based on MRI intensity normalized images + harmonized features and other models (p value |
