Radiomics and Radiogenomics Technical Basis and Clinical Applications

"Despite an abundance of research papers and some review articles, there have not been many comprehensive books devoted to these special audiences. Two first-edition books published in 2019 by the Taylor and Francis Group, Radiomics and Radiogenomics (edited by Ruijiang Li, Lei Xing, Sandy Napel, and Daniel L. Rubin) and Big Data in Radiation Oncology (edited by Jun Deng and Lei Xing), have opportunely filled this void, and provided a comprehensive review as well as valuable insights on these key new advances. .... From these two books, readers can gain a fundamental understanding of radiomic feature definition and computation, processing steps (such as voxel resampling, MRI field bias correction and normalization, and other data harmonization), and processing parameters (such as fixed bin size vs fixed bin number and voxel neighborhood size). Readers can also develop a deeper appreciation of proper data management in modeling from both texts. As such, the technical knowledge from the books can assist researchers in optimizing their own study design."
