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.
