The benefits that texture analysis and radiomics have shown already, and the improved availability of large data sets led to an increased interest in the extraction of quantitative features from medical images. Through quantification, images are converted into mineable data that, subsequently analyzed, improve diagnostic…
Today, it is generally agreed that standardized language used in radiology reports improves communication with the treatment team and patients, with a huge impact on decision making and patient outcomes. Furthermore, using standardized forms to create consistent reports, helps to save time and effort while…
In a multidisciplinary center that networks medical research, natural sciences, engineering sciences, computer science and business administration, in the Research Campus M²OLIE (“Mannheim Molecular Intervention Environment”) new methods are developed for molecular imaging, diagnostics and therapeutic intervention of oligometastatic patients in daily clinical practice. …
In a retrospective study [1], a team from Royal Marsden in London and Sutton explored changes of CT texture analysis metrics in unresectable liver metastases in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) treated with Cetuximab monotherapy. “Targeted therapy is nowadays widely used in many oncological…
From my initial experience with mint Lesion™ software, and over the 3 months I have been using it, I have been pleased with the software and come to depend on it. Assessing tumor response to therapy involves a myriad of details that are distinct…
