Table 3 Robustness of texture features as a function of noise and resolution

From: MRI texture feature repeatability and image acquisition factor robustness, a phantom study and in silico study

Robustness	High	Mid	Low
Noise	1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 15, 20, 24–26, 31, 32, 37, 40–42, 44, 45	3, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 16, 18, 21–23, 27–30, 33–36, 38, 39, 43, 46	11, 14, 17, 19
Resolution	5, 7, 9, 15, 21, 26, 30–32, 40, 41, 42, 44,	2–4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 18, 20, 22, 24, 27, 28, 33–37, 43, 45, 46	1, 10, 11, 13, 16, 17, 19, 23, 25, 29, 38, 39

For the number identifying features, see Table 2. High robustness was defined with %COV < 5, mid robustness with 5 < %COV < 30, and low robustness with %COV > 30
%COV Percentage coefficient of variation
