RADIOMICS

Radiomics enables the high-throughput extraction of a large amount (400+) quantitative features from medical images of a given modality (e.g. CT, PET, or MR), providing a comprehensive quantification of the tumor phenotype, based on simple medical imaging. Radiomics can provide complementary and interchangeable information compared to other sources (e.g. demographics, pathology, blood biomarkers, or genomics), improving individualized treatment selection and monitoring. Radiomics can have large clinical impact, since imaging is routinely used in clinical practice worldwide, providing an unprecedented opportunity to improve decision-support at low cost.
