Systems and methods are provided for classifying a tissue mass as malignant or benign. The method includes identifying a region of interest in the tissue mass in computed tomography (CT) imaging data, segmenting the CT imaging data to delimit at least a portion of the tissue mass into image segments, extracting a set of radiomic parameters indicative of the tissue mass. The set of radiomic parameters may include tissue mass location, tissue mass shape, tissue mass surface characteristic, or tissue mass texture distribution indicative of the amount of image segments identified. The method also includes generating a report classifying the indeterminate lung nodule as being malignant or benign based on the set of radiomic parameters of the indeterminate lung nodule.
