Turco, Viviana D. Patianna, Nicola Sverzellati, Susanna Esposito, Susanna Esposito, Caterina Ghetti, Maria E. Street, Maria E. Street

“…BackgroundThe aim of the study was to explore a radiomic model that could assist physicians in the diagnosis of central precocious puberty (CPP). A predictive model based on radiomic features (RFs), extracted form magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pituitary gland, was thus developed to distinguish between CPP and control subjects.Methods45 girls with confirmed diagnosis of CPP (CA:8.4 ± 0.9 yr) according to the current criteria and 47 age-matched pre-pubertal control subjects (CA:8.7 ± 1.2 yr) were retrospectively enrolled. …”
