Presentation

Terrace Hall

Synopsis: Radiomics is a fairly new technique enabling vast amount of quantitative features extractions from routinely acquired radiological images, mainly computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET), thus converting images in to higher dimensional data. Further analysis of this data could be used for decision support, follow – up, prognostic models, personalized and precision medicine. Radiomics is mainly used in oncology, yet, potentially, this technique could be implemented for other diseases as well. Despite various challenges facing wider usage of radiomics, it has the potential to become a familiar and robust technique in daily radiology practice in the future.
