The Integration of Radiomics and Artificial Intelligence in Modern Medicine

Abstract

With profound effects on patient care, the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiomics has become a disruptive force in contemporary medicine. Radiomics, the quantitative feature extraction and analysis from medical images, offers useful imaging biomarkers that can reveal important information about the nature of diseases, how well patients respond to treatment and patient outcomes. The use of AI techniques in radiomics, such as machine learning and deep learning, has made it possible to create sophisticated computer-aided diagnostic systems, predictive models, and decision support tools. The many uses of AI in radiomics are examined in this review, encompassing its involvement of quantitative feature extraction from medical images, the machine learning, deep learning and computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems approaches in radiomics, and the effect of radiomics and AI on improving workflow automation and efficiency, optimize clinical trials and patient stratification. This review also covers the predictive modeling improvement by machine learning in radiomics, the multimodal integration and enhanced deep learning architectures, and the regulatory and clinical adoption considerations for radiomics-based CAD. Particular emphasis is given to the enormous potential for enhancing diagnosis precision, treatment personalization, and overall patient outcomes.
