Radiomics in oncology - uncovering tumor phenotype from medical images: a short introduction

Abstract

Radiomics is a promising method to quantify and describe the tumor phenotype on medical images. High numbers of image features are extracted from medical images and can be used within a clinical decision support system by integrating this data with clinical and pathological variables. Herein, we give a short introduction into this image analysis method and present an overview on the workflow.
