Objectives To evaluate inter- and intra- scan mode and scanner repeatability and reproducibility of radiomics features within and between single-energy CT (SECT) and dual-energy CT (DECT). Methods A standardized phantom with sixteen rods of clinical-relevant densities was scanned on seven DECT-capable scanners and three SECT-only scanners. The acquisition parameters were selected to present typical abdomen-pelvic examinations with the same voxel size. Images of SECT at 120 kVp and corresponding 120 kVp-like virtual monochromatic images (VMIs) in DECT which were generated according to scanners were analyzed. Regions of interest were drawn with rigid registrations to avoid variations due to segmentation. Radiomics features were extracted via Pyradiomics platform. Test-retest repeatability was evaluated by Bland-Altman analysis for repeated scans. Intra-scanner reproducibility for different scan modes was tested by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and concordance correlation coefficient (CCC). Inter-scanner reproducibility among different scanners for same scan mode was assessed by coefficient of variation (CV) and quartile coefficient of dispersion (QCD). Results The test-retest analysis presented that 92.91% and 87.02% of the 94 assessed features were repeatable for SECT 120kVp and DECT 120 kVp-like VMIs, respectively. The intra-scanner analysis for SECT 120kVp vs DECT 120 kVp-like VMIs demonstrated that 10.76% and 10.28% of features were with ICC > 0.90 and CCC > 0.90, respectively. The inter-scanner analysis showed that 17.09% and 27.73% of features for SECT 120kVp were with CV < 10% and QCD < 10%, and 15.16% and 32.78% for DECT 120 kVp-like VMIs, respectively. Conclusions The majority of radiomics features were non-reproducible within and between SECT and DECT.
