Introduction to Radiomics and Artificial Intelligence: A Primer for Radiologists.

ABSTRACT

Health informatics and artificial intelligence (AI) are expected to transform the healthcare enterprise and the future practice of radiology. There is an increasing body of literature on radiomics and deep learning/AI applications in medical imaging. There are also a steadily increasing number of FDA cleared AI applications in radiology. It is therefore essential for radiologists to have a basic understanding of these approaches, whether in academia or private practice. In this article, we will provide an overview of the field and familiarize the readers with the fundamental concepts behind these approaches.
