Application of radiomics in adrenal incidentaloma: a literature review

Discov Oncol. 2022 Oct 28;13(1):112. doi: 10.1007/s12672-022-00577-z.

Abstract

Assessment of adrenal incidentaloma relies on imaging analysis and evaluation of adrenal function. Radiomics as a tool for quantitative image analysis is useful for evaluation of adrenal incidentaloma. In this review, we examined radiomic literature on adrenal incidentaloma including both adrenal functional assessment and structural differentiation of benign versus malignant adrenal tumors. In this review, we summarized the status of radiomic application on adrenal incidentaloma and suggested potential direction for future research.

Keywords: Adrenal incidentaloma; Differentiation; Functional assessment; Radiomics; Texture analysis.
