Radiomics in MRI: Doing It Right
Radiomics in MRI: Doing It Right
Weekday Course

ORGANIZERS: Elena Kaye, Viola Rieke

 
Tuesday, 19 June 2018
N01  13:45 - 15:45 Moderators:  Valentina Giannini, Elizabeth Sutton

Skill Level: Basic
Session Number: Tu-04

Overview
Radiomics, independent of imaging modality will be introduced first, then the session will present in detail how to perform radiomics analysis using MR images. Then the session will review one or two specific applications of MR-based radiomics, focusing on added value of radiomics analysis.

Target Audience
Physicians and scientists who are interested in starting new projects in the field of radiomics using MR images or already performing research in this field.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
-Discuss the added value of radiomics analysis in diagnostics; and
-Explain how to perform MR-based radiomics analysis while avoiding the pitfalls of the technique.

 		 Radiomics in MRI: Getting Started
Martin Vallières
Better standardization, transparency and sharing practices are required in the radiomics community to improve the quality and reproducibility of published studies and to achieve faster clinical translation. In this course, emphasis will be put on the presentation of the standardized radiomics workflow defined by the Image Biomarker Standardisation Initiative (IBSI), a group of more than 55 researchers from 19 institutions in 8 countries. Since 2016, the IBSI has put efforts into standardizing both the computation of radiomics features and the image-processing steps required before feature extraction. This standardized workflow along with consensual benchmark values could serve as a calibration tool for future radiomics investigations. Finally, radiomics methods specific to MRI will also be presented in this course.
