Implemented by GIBI230, this tool is a Docker-based software designed for extracting radiomic features from 3D medical images in NIfTI format using the PyRadiomics library (if DICOM images, the DICOM to NIFTI converter must be run before using this tool). It streamlines the radiomics calculation process by generating a structured CSV file containing all extracted variables from medical images. The dockerized software enables users to configure parameters like filters, bin width, resampling spacing, and normalization settings can be specified. The output radiomic variables provide quantitative information for further analysis in medical imaging research and machine learning applications. Specially important the parameter selection of the band width. For robust and reproducible results, a bin width of 5 is commonly recommended, but it should be adjusted based on image resolution, modality, and noise levels.

The tool is designed to perform radiomics harmonization on large and heterogeneous datasets, where the risk of over-harmonization is present. Instead of directly applying harmonization based on predefined batch labels, the tool first identifies groups of batches that share similar characteristics through clustering of the radiomics data. It then performs harmonization using these cluster-derived labels. The tool allows the harmonization of radiomics variables using two methods: (1) original ComBat (Rabinovic, 2007) method, where each original batch group is considered for the harmonization process and (2) cluster-based ComBat method, where batch groups with similar radiomics characteristics form clusters and the latter are being considered for the harmonization process.
