ABSTRACT Background and Purpose. Nuclear grades of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are usually confirmed by invasive methods. Radiomics is a quantitative tool that uses non-invasive medical imaging for tumor diagnosis and prognosis. In this study, a radiomics approach was proposed to analyze the association between preoperative computed tomography (CT) images and nuclear grades of ccRCC.

Methods. Our dataset included 320 ccRCC patients from two centers and was divided into a training set (n = 124), an internal test set (n = 123), and an external test set (n = 73). A radiomic feature set was extracted from unenhanced, corticomedullary phase, and nephrographic phase CT images. The maximizing independent classification information criteria function and recursive feature elimination with cross-validation were used to select effective features. Random forests were used to build a final model for predicting nuclear grades, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the performance of radiomic features and models. Results. The radiomic features from the three CT phases
