Book excerpt: Over the past few decades, there have been many dramatic innovations in cancer diagnosis and treatment strategies. Medical imaging plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. It provides a comprehensive assessment of the tumors and their environments. Multiple imaging modalities are used for theranostics including optical (fluorescence or bioluminescence), nuclear (PET or SPECT), ultrasound, photoacoustic, CT, and MR imaging techniques. Radiomics is an approach for high-throughput extraction of quantitative imaging features or textures from imaging to decode histopathology and create high-dimensional datasets for feature extraction. Therefore, Radiomics may provide quantitative and objective support for decisions surrounding cancer detection and treatment.
