An automatic radiomic-based approach for disease localization: A pilot study on COVID-19.

Radiomics is an innovative field in Personalized Medicine to help medical specialists in diagnosis and prognosis. Mainly, the application of Radiomics to medical images requires the definition and delimitation of the Region Of Interest (ROI) on the medical image to extract radiomic features. The aim of this preliminary study is to define an approach that automatically detects the specific areas indicative of a particular disease and examines them to minimize diagnostic errors associated with false positives and false negatives.
