Radiogenomics and IR

Radiogenomics involves the integration of mineable data from imaging phenotypes with genomic and clinical data to establish predictive models using machine learning. As a noninvasive surrogate for a tumor's in vivo genetic profile, radiogenomics may potentially provide data for patient treatment stratification. Radiogenomics may also supersede the shortcomings associated with genomic research, such as the limited availability of high-quality tissue and restricted sampling of tumoral subpopulations. Interventional radiologists are well suited to circumvent these obstacles through advancements in image-guided tissue biopsies and intraprocedural imaging. Comprehensive understanding of the radiogenomic process is crucial for interventional radiologists to contribute to this evolving field.
