processing to complex computer-aided diagnosis. The intent of such manipulation can
range from the enhancement of aspects of the image for improved human visualization to
artificial intelligence. The tools available for image analysis span the fields of
mathematics, statistics, and computer science and incorporate biophysical aspects of the
medical image acquisition system. The extraction of quantitative information (or
“features”) from medical images and the use of this information to assist radiologists in
their medical decision-making process (termed “radiomics”) has expanded medical
imaging from a subjective art to much more of an objective science. Radiography, as the
most common imaging modality, and computed tomography (CT), as the predominant
tomographic imaging modality, both benefit from a vast array of quantitative techniques.
Applications include volumetry of tumors and other abnormalities, assessment of
response to therapy, patient prognosis, and evaluation of disease severity.
