Radiomics
8 important questions on Radiomics
Conclusion to learning objectives.
- role of imaging in clinical and research workflow (historically and now)
- what are radiomics + innovation
- association between imaging markers and clinical outcomes
- multidisciplinary in the future key role.
What kind of morphologies does a tumor have?
- Smooth margins
- Homogeneous/ heterogeneous
- Irregularly shaped
- Lobular
- Lesions (schade)
What is radiomics? Three types of usage.
- numerical description
- finding mineable data => patterns with useful information
- used for morphological characterization. Computer Aided Biological profiling (CABP)
- used for computer aided diagnosis (CAD)
- used for computer aided response prediction (CARP)
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Describe the workflow of radiomics.
Outline of the two kinds of radiomics pipeline.
a The classical/conventional radiomics model where, after image acquisition, areas of interest are delineated and handcrafted features are extracted. Subsequently, models are built around these predefined features using either statistical or machine learning methodologies.
b The deep learning radiomics pipeline where, after image acquisition, neural networks automatically perform feature extraction, selection, and classification
What is the difference between radiomics and radiogenomics?
Predicting the prognosis of a cancer patient. How to do it?
Why is inside into tumour biology important? (3)
- For biomarkers
- For treatment strategies
- Identification of targets
Why are multidisciplinary teams important?
- This will require hand-in-hand multidisciplinary collaboration between the biomedical field (i.e. clinicians, geneticists, radiologists, pathologists, clinical chemists) and the technical field (i.e. computer scientists, physicists, engineers, statisticians, and mathematicians)
- as well as an organizational structure wherein the departments will operate not in isolation but in successful integration.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
