New PyRadiomics Extension Enhances Anisotropic Medical Image Texture Analysis

Researchers have developed an enhanced version of PyRadiomics designed to accurately analyze texture features in medical imaging data acquired with anisotropic voxel spacing. This new framework accounts for varying physical distances represented by identical voxel offsets without interpolating gray levels. The system operates across Python, C, and computational backends, modifying specific texture families like GLCM, NGTDM, and GLRLM to account for anisotropy. Validation using synthetic 3D phantoms demonstrated its accuracy and highlighted moderate increases in runtime and memory usage, providing a robust technical foundation for future radiomic evaluations in heterogeneous medical imaging.

    A Voxel-Spacing-Aware Extension of PyRadiomics for Anisotropic Texture Analysis

    arXiv:2609.14103v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Radiomic texture features are commonly extracted from anisotropic CT and MRI acquisitions, where identical voxel offsets may represent different physical distances. We implemented and validated a voxel-spacing-aware extension of P…
