Machine learning and radiomics for the prediction of multidrug resistance in cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis: a multicentre study

Abstract

• This is the first study to build and validate models that distinguish MDR-TB from DS-TB with clinical and radiomics features based on cavitation. • The radiomics model demonstrated good performance and might potentially aid in prior TB characterisation treatment. • This noninvasive and convenient technique can be used as a diagnosis tool into routine clinical practice.
