Radiomics in the precision diagnosis and treatment of brain tumor:the application and challenge / 中华放射肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

While emphasizing" Precision Medicine" nowadays,comprehending the specificity of patients and pathology is the key to achieving the precision diagnosis and treatment.Radiomics is a high-throughput quantitative analysis that combines the quantitative features from the region of interest on medical image and the biology and heterogeneity of tumor.It provides a non-invasive,convenient,dynamic,and quantitative method to collect the patient's specific features of pathology and gene.Radiomics holds promise for the precision diagnosis and treatment of brain tumor.It can be used for molecular pathology diagnosis,definition of tumor boundaries,prognosis,prediction of complications,and so on.It helps to develop individualized measures for the prevention,diagnosis,treatment,and prognostic monitoring based on their disease features.
