A Survey on Recent Advancements for AI Enabled Radiomics in Neuro-Oncology

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) enabled radiomics has evolved immensely especially in the field of oncology. Radiomics provide assistance in diagnosis of cancer, planning of treatment strategy, and prediction of survival. Radiomics in neuro-oncology has progressed significantly in the recent past. Deep learning has outperformed conventional machine learning methods in most image-based applications. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have seen some popularity in radiomics, since they do not require hand-crafted features and can automatically extract features during the learning process. In this regard, it is observed that CNN based radiomics could provide state-of-the-art results in neuro-oncology, similar to the recent success of such methods in a wide spectrum of medical image analysis applications. Herein we present a review of the most recent best practices and establish the future trends for AI enabled radiomics in neuro-oncology.

Brain Tumor Survival Prediction using Radiomics Features

“…Over the past few years, several deep learning (DL) based approaches have been introduced especially for medical image analysis [4,2,12,10]. DL models outperform traditional machine learning approaches on numerous applications in computer vision as well as medical image analysis, especially when sufficiently large number of training samples are available [3].…”

Deep Learning for Musculoskeletal Image Analysis

“…Machine learning, specifically deep learning models, have been successful in a wide range of image analysis tasks. Medical image computing has been benefiting from these advances and resulting in some exciting avenues of research [5], [6]. One of the advantages of using these deep learning algorithms is their ability to learn an effective data representation without the need for pre-identifying the appropriate features in a hand crafted manner.…”
