[Radiomics for Molecular Classification and Treatment Strategy]. Igaku Butsuri. 2020;40(1):19-22 Authors: Uchiyama Y Abstract After the end of human genome project, the cost of genetic analysis has rapidly declined with the advancement of next-generation sequencers. In addition, the relationship between various diseases and genes has been clarified. Therefore, it is likely that genetic testing may be performed in daily clinical practice in the near future. In such background, a novel research 'radiomics' is spreading to offer a new viewpoint for the use of genotype in radiological field which has traditionally focused on the analysis of imaging phenotypes. Radiomics is applied to the molecular classification or treatment strategy. This paper explains what radiomics is and what kind of changes it would bring.
