Abstract

BACKGROUND: Radiomics is the process of converting radiological images into high-dimensional data that may be used to create machine learning models capable of predicting clinical outcomes, such as disease progression, treatment response and survival. Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors differ from adult CNS tumors in terms of their tissue morphology, molecular subtype and textural features. We set out to appraise the current impact of this technology in clinical pediatric neuro-oncology practice.
