Objective:
To investigate the impact of sex on radiomics-based prediction of mortality and troponin levels in acute pulmonary embolism (APE) patients.
Approach:
Key Findings:
- Previous studies show conflicting results regarding the influence of sex on mortality in APE.
- The study aims to clarify the role of sex in predicting mortality and troponin levels using radiomics.
Interpretation:
Remove this section as it contains unsupported claims.
Limitations:
- The dataset was limited to 200 patients for the main analysis, which may affect generalizability.
- Manual segmentation of lung thrombus was required for some cases, which could introduce bias.
Conclusion:
The study seeks to enhance understanding of sex-related differences in APE outcomes through radiomics analysis.
