Radiomics for personalised medicine: the long road ahead

Kenneth Miles. Br J Cancer. 2020 Mar.

Abstract

Radiomics is well placed to make clinically effective and cost-effective contributions to cancer care as a decision-making tool for personalised medicine. However, a systematic evaluative framework needs to be established so that these benefits can be demonstrated with confidence.
