Texture analysis was performed on primary tumors. MR images were transferred to an off-line PC and analyzed using proprietary texture analysis software TexRAD (TexRAD; Cambridge, UK). Three head and neck radiologists in consensus (M.R., M.L., E.T.), blinded to HPV status, drew an ROI on a single section of axial T2, ADC map, and post contrast VIBE images (Fig 1), encompassing the primary tumor on its largest axial area. TexRAD software uses
the filtration-histogram method as described by Miles et al.26 The filtration-histogram method comprises an initial filtration step that highlights image features of a specified size, followed by histogram analysis of the filtered image. The size of highlighted image features is denoted by the spatial scaling factor (SSF), expressed in millimeters.
