Our purpose was to explore the potential of radiomics for SCCHN therapy-specific survival prognostication and to increase the models\u2019 interpretability by ranking the features based on their predictive importance.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We included 157 SCCHN patients (male, 119; female, 38; mean age, 64.39\u2009\u00b1\u200910.71\u00a0years) with baseline head and neck CT between 09\/2014 and 08\/2020 in this retrospective study. Patients were stratified according to their treatment. Using independent training and test datasets with cross-validation and 100 iterations, we identified, ranked and inter-correlated prognostic signatures using elastic net (EN) and random survival forest (RSF). We benchmarked the models against clinical parameters. Inter-reader variation was analyzed using intraclass-correlation coefficients (ICC).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>EN and RSF achieved top prognostication performances of AUC\u2009=\u20090.795 (95% CI 0.767\u20130.822) and AUC\u2009=\u20090.811 (95% CI 0.782\u20130.839). RSF prognostication slightly outperformed the EN for the complete (\u0394AUC 0.035, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002) and radiochemotherapy (\u0394AUC 0.092, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) cohort. RSF was superior to most clinical benchmarking (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2264\u20090.006). The inter-reader correlation was moderate or high for all features classes (ICC\u2009\u2265\u20090.77 (\u00b1\u20090.19)). Shape features had the highest prognostic importance, followed by texture features.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>EN and RSF built on radiomics features may be used for survival prognostication.
