A The recent years of the cardiovascular medicine saw a rapid development of advanced imaging modalities. The new era of personalized medicine takes advantage of what can be interpreted from medical images, searching for underlying connections between image phenotyping and biological characteristics to support precise clinical decisions. The application of radiomics in cardiovascular imaging has lagged behind other fields, such as oncology. While the current interpretation of cardiac and vascular images mainly depends on subjective and qualitative analysis, radiomics uses advanced image analysis to extract numerous quantitative features from digital images that are unrecognizable to the naked eye. The goal of this narrative review is to highlight the main findings of the recent use of radiomic analysis in the cardiovascular field. English-language articles published in the database PubMed were used for this review. The keywords used in the search included radiomics, cardiovascular or cardiac or aortic. Radiomics is expected to contribute to a more precise phenotyping of the cardiovascular disease, which can improve diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic decision making in the near future.
近年来，心血管医学领域的先进成像技术得到了迅速发展。个性化医学的新时代利用了从医学图像中可以解读出的信息，寻找图像表型与生物学特征之间的潜在联系，以支持精准的临床决策。与肿瘤学等其他领域相比，放射组学在心血管成像中的应用相对滞后。虽然目前对心脏和血管图像的解读主要依赖于主观和定性分析，但放射组学使用先进的图像分析技术，从肉眼无法识别的数字图像中提取大量定量特征。本综述的目的是重点介绍放射组学分析在心血管领域的最新应用中的主要发现。本综述使用了在数据库 PubMed 上发表的英文文章。搜索中使用的关键词包括放射组学、心血管或心脏或主动脉。放射组学有望为心血管疾病的表型分析提供更精准的方法，从而在不久的将来改善诊断、预后和治疗决策。
