Applications of Radiomics in Breast Surgery

Abstract

The emerging technology of Radiomics has brought a revolution in the field of medicine regarding the diagnoses. The technique is being used to diagnose and interpret the various types of cancers based on imaging characterizations. The manual methods of diagnosis have many limitations in terms of reliability. There are many annotations of tumors, and to recognize a specific type of tumor is not less than a challenge, which could be fulfilled through this technology. In this study, diagnostic approaches and the potential of radiomics has been assessed. Moreover, all the MRI-derived parameters were also explained to make the discussion strong.

Material and Methods

The analyses of data were made based on secondary data. 450 researched articles were reviewed, 57 articles were identified and 9 articles were selected for the scientific literature review.

Results

Radiomics modalities are advanced and accurate in their approach. The value of Ki67 is associated with the growth rate of a tumor. Radiologists have increased the accurate diagnostic percentage by using radiometric technology. Texture technique as a diagnostic has the highest accuracy level. Various imaging techniques depict different diagnostic results based on their principles. The Expression of the Ki67 strongly correlated with three texture features.

Conclusion:

This study aimed to help clinicians and radiologists to know the basic information of radiomics for better application in clinical practice.
