Radiomics aims to quantify phenotypic characteristics on medical imaging through the use of automated algorithms. Radiomic artificial intelligence (AI) technology, either based engineered hard-coded algorithms or deep learning methods, can be used develop noninvasive imaging-based biomarkers. However, lack standardized algorithm definitions and image processing severely hampers reproducibility comparability results. To address this issue, we developed PyRadiomics, a flexible open-source...

Purpose. Besides basic measurements as maximum standardized uptake value (SUV)max or SUVmean derived from 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) scans, more advanced quantitative imaging features (i.e. “Radiomics” features) are increasingly investigated for treatment monitoring, outcome prediction, potential biomarkers. With these prospected applications of Radiomics features, it is a requisite that they provide robust and reliable measurements. The aim our study was therefore to perform...

Tumors are characterized by somatic mutations that drive biological processes ultimately reflected in tumor phenotype. With regard to radiographic phenotypes, generally unconnected through present understanding the presence of specific mutations, artificial intelligence methods can automatically quantify phenotypic characters using predefined, engineered algorithms or automatic deep-learning methods, a process also known as radiomics. Here we demonstrate how imaging phenotypes be connected...
