The steady improvement of high-throughput technologies greatly facilitates the implementation of personalized precision medicine. Characterization of tumor heterogeneity through image-derived features-radiomics and genetic profile modifications-genomics, is a rapidly evolving field known as radiogenomics. Various radiogenomics studies have been dedicated to colorectal cancer so far, highlighting the potential of these approaches to enhance clinical decision-making. In this review, a general outline of colorectal radiogenomics literature is provided, discussing the current limitations and suggested further developments.
