3 RADIOMICS The high-throughput extraction of large amounts of image features from radiographic images,, Lambin, European Journal of Cancer 48 (2012) The underlying hypothesis of Radiomics is that advanced image analysis on conventional and novel medical imaging could capture additional information not currently used, and more specifically, that genomic and proteomics patterns can be expressed in terms of macroscopic image-based features. If proven, we can infer phenotypes or gene protein signatures, possibly containing prognostic information, from the quantitative analysis of medical image data.,,
