The major goal of radiomics studies is the identification of predictive and reliable markers. It is, therefore, crucial to account for unwanted confounding effects that affect the radiomic features like scanning noise, annotator bias, or the used imaging device and parameter. Usually, these confounding effects are not sufficiently represented in the main cohort of radiomics studies and consequently are investigated in smaller side-studies.
