Abstract

Recently, in a medical field, quantitative data mining is a hot topic for performing a precision (or personalized) medicine. Although a molecular biological data has been mainly utilized for data mining in this field, medical images are also important minable data. Radiomics is a comprehensive analysis methodology for describing tumor phenotypes or molecular biological expressions (e.g. genotypes) using minable feature extracted from a large number of medical images. In this review paper, we introduce to a framework of the radiomics.

Keywords: data mining; machine learning; precision medicine; radiomic feature; radiomics.
