Clear cell RCC (ccRCC), the most common and aggressive subtype of kidney cancer is a very heterogenous disease. Percutaneous biopsies are limited to determine tumor grade, particularly in larger, heterogeneous tumors. MRI can diagnose ccRCC histology with reasonable accuracy. However, efforts to distinguish indolent from aggressive ccRCCs using MRI have produced only modest results. Here we apply quantitative radiomic analysis based on first-order (histogram) and second-order (texture feature) statistics to MRI data for the prediction of high grade ccRCC. Our findings suggest that radiomic analysis of MRI data can help in the prediction of tumor grade in ccRCC.
