Overview

Narrative review demonstrates the conversion of medical scans into quantitative data via radiomics in oncology, highlighting improved diagnostic profiling and clinical decision support.

Key Points

  • To review the evolution of medical imaging from qualitative interpretation to quantitative data extraction using handcrafted and deep radiomics, and to evaluate their clinical utility in oncology.
  • Narrative review examining the multistage pipeline of handcrafted radiomics, including feature extraction based on shape, pixel intensity, and texture.
  • Methodological comparison evaluating handcrafted feature engineering alongside end-to-end deep learning architectures within radiomic workflows.
  • Synthesis of clinical translational literature focusing on predictive oncology models, diagnostic decision support, and technological limitations.
  • Handcrafted and deep radiomic workflows reliably decode covert imaging phenotypes into objective data to forecast clinical outcomes such as patient survival and therapy response.
  • Deep learning automates high-dimensional feature extraction but requires trade-offs between predictive capacity and biological interpretability relative to handcrafted methods.
  • Clinical adoption in oncology remains constrained by challenges in data standardization, model generalizability, and workflow integration.
