Abstract:
New challenges are currently faced by clinical and surgical oncologists in the management of patients with breast cancer, mainly related to the need for molecular and prognostic data. Recent technological advances in diagnostic imaging and informatics have led to the introduction of functional imaging modalities, such as hybrid PET/MR imaging, and artificial intelligence (AI) software, aimed at the extraction of quantitative radiomics data, which may reflect tumor biology and behavior. In this article, the most recent applications of radiomics and AI to PET/MR imaging are described to address the new needs of clinical and surgical oncology.
