OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine if optimized imaging protocols across multiple computed tomography (CT) vendors could result in reproducible radiomic features calculated from an anthropomorphic phantom. METHODS: Materials with varying degrees of heterogeneity were placed throughout the lungs of the phantom. Twenty scans of the phantom were acquired on 3 CT manufacturers with chest CT protocols that had optimized protocol parameters. Scans were reconstructed using vendor-specific standards and lung kernels. The concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) was used to calculate reproducibility between features. For features with high CCC values, Bland-Altman analysis was also used to quantify agreement. RESULTS: The mean Hounsfield unit (HU) was 32.93 HU (141.7 to -26.5 HU) for the rubber insert and 347.2 HU (-320.9 to -347.7 HU) for the wood insert. Low CCC values of less than 0.9 were calculated for all features across all scans. CONCLUSIONS: Radiomic features that are derived from the spatial distribution of voxel intensities should be particularly scrutinized for reproducibility in a multivendor environment.
