Radiomic-based approaches in the multi-metastatic setting: a quantitative review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Radiomics traditionally focuses on analyzing a single lesion within a patient to extract tumor characteristics, yet this process may overlook inter-lesion heterogeneity, particularly in the multi-metastatic setting. There is currently no established method for combining radiomic features in such settings, leading to diverse approaches with varying strengths and limitations. Our quantitative review aims to illuminate these methodologies, assess their replicability, and guide future research toward establishing best practices, offering insights into the challenges of multi-lesion radiomic analysis across diverse datasets.

Methods

We conducted a comprehensive literature search to identify methods for integrating data from multiple lesions in radiomic analyses. We rep
