影像组学在泌尿系统肿瘤中的研究进展

Radiomics research in urologic neoplasms

泌尿系肿瘤发病率正逐年上升,影像组学作为探索肿瘤潜在生物学行为的一种研究方法,因其可无创、重复且能整体分析肿瘤内部异质性而越来越受重视,在泌尿系统疾病中的应用逐渐增多。影像组学中纹理分析等定量方法可以高通量提取更多病灶信息,从而达到对病变性质的精确预测,最终帮助临床作出较精确的诊断,辅助临床作出精准的治疗决策。本文就影像组学的研究方法、步骤及在泌尿系统肿瘤中研究进展方面进行综述。

With the increasing trend of incidence of urologic neoplasms these years,radiomics,as a research method to explore the potential biological behavior of tumors,has drawn more attention due to its non-invasive,repetitive and comprehensive analysis of tumor heterogeneity and has been applied to urologic neoplasms progressively.Utilizing the texture analysis and other quantitative methods in fadiomics can extract more lesion information with high throughput,and achieve accurate prediction of the nature of a lesion,ultimately,assisting in making more precise clinical diagnosis,more accurate treatment decisions.The research methods procedures of radiomics,and the progresses of radiomics research in urologic neoplasms have been reviewed in this article.
