Hello everyone,

I’m trying to extract the radiomic features from MR images using Pyradiomics extension on 3DSlicer.

I know that the default setting for the binwidth is 25. However, I am not sure which value is more suitable for my studies. How can I optimize this value? Some features cannot be calculated when I use the default value.

Thank you for your help.
