Article Synopsis
- Researchers aimed to standardize a set of 174 radiomic features used in medical imaging due to challenges caused by unstandardized definitions and reference values.
- The study was conducted in three phases, with increasing consensus on feature validity, showing significant improvement in reproducibility across different imaging modalities by the end of the process.
- Ultimately, 169 radiomic features were successfully standardized, which could enhance clinical application and verification in imaging diagnostics.
Dose painting by numbers (DPBN) refers to a voxel-wise prescription of radiation dose modelled from functional image characteristics, in contrast to dose painting by contours which requires delineations to define the target for dose escalation. The direct relation between functional imaging characteristics and DPBN implies that random variations in images may propagate into the dose distribution. The stability of MR-only prostate cancer treatment planning based on DPBN with respect to these variations is as yet unknown.

Multiparametric (mp-)MRI is increasingly used for tumor detection and localization in prostate because of its ability to visualize tissue structure and to reveal tumor characteristics. However, it can be challenging to distinguish cancer, particularly in the transition zone.
