Cardiac MRI Radiomics: review

Abstract

A study of foreign and domestic literature devoted to the application of texture analysis of magnetic resonance images of the heart was performed. The analysis included publications selected by key words and their combinations: cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), myocarditis, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, radiomics, and texture analysis. Radiomics and texture analysis, as a new and rapidly developing direction of in-depth analysis of digital medical images, is developing, the number of publications on this topic is growing every year and the topic is not losing its relevance. Radiomics is a promising method of image analysis that aims to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases by extracting a large number of quantitative features that can be missed by the human eye in the visual analysis of images. Radiomics biomarkers derived by extracting data from magnetic resonance images of the heart could be a valuable tool for assessing myocardial viability, myocardial lesions in myocarditis and cardiomyopathies.
