May aid non-invasive risk stratification; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Radiomics, the quantitative extraction and mining of features from radiological images, has recently emerged as a promising source of non-invasive image-based cardiovascular biomarkers, potentially revolutionizing diagnostics and risk assessment. This review explores its application within coronary plaques and pericoronary adipose tissue, particularly focusing on plaque characterization and cardiac events prediction. By shedding light on the current state-of-the-art, achievements, and prospective avenues, this review contributes to a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of radiomics in the context of coronary arteries. Finally, open challenges and existing gaps are emphasized to underscore the need for future efforts aimed at ensuring the robustness and reliability of radiomics studies, facilitating their clinical translation.
