Radiomics and imaging genomics in precision medicine

Abstract

ABSTRACT “Radiomics,” a field of study in which high-throughput data is extracted and large amo- unts of advanced quantitative imaging features are analyzed from medical images, and “imaging genomics,” the field of study of high-throughput methods of associating imag- ing features with genomic data, has gathered academic interest. However, a radiomics and imaging genomics approach in the oncology world is still in its very early stages and many problems remain to be solved. In this review, we will look through the steps of radiomics and imaging genomics in oncology, specifically addressing potential applica- tions in each organ and focusing on technical issues.
