Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease with a huge impact on people's quality of life, life expectancy, and morbidity. The ongoing prevalence of the disease, in conjunction with an increased financial burden to healthcare services, necessitates the development of new technologies to be employed in this field. Hence, advanced computational methods have been developed to facilitate early and accurate diagnosis of the disease and improve all health outcomes. Artificial intelligence is now deeply involved in the fight against this disease, with many clinical applications in the field of medical imaging. Deep learning approaches have been tested for use in this domain, while radiomics, an emerging quantitative method, are already being evaluated to be used in various medical imaging modalities. This chapter aims to provide an insight into the fundamental principles behind radiomics, discuss the most common techniques alongside their strengths and weaknesses, and suggest ways forward for future research standardization and reproducibility.
阿尔茨海默病是一种神经退行性疾病,对人们的生活质量、预期寿命和发病率都有巨大影响。随着疾病的持续流行,以及医疗保健服务负担的增加,需要开发新技术应用于该领域。因此,已经开发出先进的计算方法来促进疾病的早期和准确诊断,并改善所有健康结果。人工智能现在已经深入参与到对抗这种疾病的斗争中,在医学成像领域有许多临床应用。深度学习方法已在该领域进行了测试,而放射组学作为一种新兴的定量方法,已经在各种医学成像模式中进行了评估。本章旨在深入了解放射组学背后的基本原理,讨论最常见的技术及其优缺点,并为未来的研究标准化和可重复性提出建议。
