About The Book
Radiomics and Radiogenomics: Technical Basis and Clinical Applications provides an essential overview of the emerging fields of radiomics and radiogenomics, focusing on their technical underpinnings and clinical applications in oncology. This book is designed to showcase how these fields are used to evaluate disease characteristics, correlate with treatment response, and assess patient prognosis.

Written by expert authors, it delves into computational approaches for extracting imaging features, which aid in detecting and characterizing disease tissues, thereby improving diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy evaluation. It covers a variety of key areas, including image informatics, quantitative imaging, feature extraction, predictive modeling, and software tools.

With a focus on oncology, the book also extends to other disease sites in separate chapters, providing a complete look at the technical and clinical relevance of radiomics and radiogenomics. The book offers an introduction to basic principles, as well as a discussion of emerging research directions and a roadmap for clinical translation.
