Radiomics

Radiomics is a computational methodology that extracts large numbers of quantitative features from medical images (CT, MRI, PET) using automated image analysis and machine learning to discover imaging biomarkers associated with disease phenotype, prognosis, and treatment response. Developed by Lambin, Gillies, and colleagues in 2012, radiomics aims to decode the biology underlying visible imaging patterns, enabling personalized medicine through image-based phenotyping. It has emerged as a powerful tool in oncology for tumor characterization, prognosis prediction, and therapy response assessment.
