Current Goals & Status:
Question: What is the minimum detectable level of change in patient datasets under a “No Change” condition?
- AIMS: For patient datasets acquired over a very short time interval (“no change” condition”) investigate variance in measuring change in volume, diameter and bi-directional diameters of lesions
- Investigate inter-observer variability in each task
- Investigate Intra-observer variability in each task
- Methods - Materials
- Image Data from MSK Coffee Break Experiment
- 32 NSCLC patients, imaged twice on same scanner over period < 15 minutes
- Thin slice (1.25 mm thick) image data
- Selected one lesion per patient
- no outcome data
- Publicly Available on NCIA
- Methods - Materials
- Methods - Readings
- 5 readers
- Read CT at timepoint 1, CT at timepoint 2 and repeat either CT timepoint 1 or timeoint 2 to assess intra-reader variability
- Methods - Measurements
- Measure Single Longest Diameter, manually (SLD)
- Measure Longest Diameter and Perpendicular Diameter; take product to obtain Product of Diameters (POD)
- Contour Full Boundary of lesion with semiautomated tool; calculate volume (Vol)
- Extract other measures as well (SLD from POD measureement; SLD from VOl and POD from Vol).
- The Order of Readers, Lesions and Measurement Methods were Randomized (Measurements done in Blocks of 10)
- Methods - Readings
- Analyses
- Pooled Analysis across readers and lesions; Percent Difference between Scan 1 and Scan 2 for each measurement method
- Subgroup Analyses: (a) Based on Measureable/Non-Measureable lesions identified by Mike O'Neal of CoreLabs; (b) Difficult, Moderate and Easy as Identified by Mike McNitt-Gray
