Hi hanna,

Based on a recent git issue posted ([https://github.com/Radiomics/pyradiomics/issues/588](https://github.com/Radiomics/pyradiomics/issues/588)), it appears you might have installed the “[radiomics](https://pypi.org/project/radiomics/)” package instead of installing the “[pyradiomics](https://pypi.org/project/pyradiomics/#description)” package.
