      Abstract

      Predictive models for personalized medicine (also known as radiomics) is a recent discipline that uses sophisticated image analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) methods to obtain quantitative image-based features that correlate to final diagnosis and treatment outcome [1].

      The application of radiomics in lung cancer screening can represent a critical shift in this field. Some recent studies, like [2-3], show that radiomic features (including tumor shape descriptors and texture analysis) extracted from CT scans have significantly better predictive value than volumetry alone (AUC= 0.9 vs 0.74). Texture analysis reflects tumour heterogeneity and has recently introduced in PET images. In fact, PET texture analysis has demonstrated its value in establishing survival [4], predicting distant metastasis [5], detecting mutations and establishing radiotherapy doses [6]. However, and despite the promising results, there are some limitations like the low reliability of heterogeneity parameters in tumours with small volume, the low repeatability and reproducibility of textural features in the clinical setting and the limitation of the analytic methods.

      A multi-radiomic model that could integrate morphological features from the CT together with biological characteristics from the PET and clinical risk factors (age, smoking history, contact with asbestos or family cancer background), would become a highly accurate diagnostic and prognostic method and, thus, make lung cancer screening programs cost-effective. However, in order that radiomics become the cornerstone for clinical decision-making, new machine learning and statistical strategies adapted to the specific requirements of clinical applications should be formulated.

      A main pitfall in current state of the art AI methods is the use of generic machine learning and statistical tools borrowed from other fields of application which fall short under clinical conditions [7]. Predictive radiomic models for personalized medicine should address several specific challenges different from the ones common to other application areas of artificial intelligence. First, models should collect and integrate diverse multimodal data sources in a quantitative manner that delivers unambiguous clinical predictions. Second, models should also be easily interpreted from a clinical point of view to allow the analysis of the clinical factors that have an impact on the clinical decision. Third, predictions should be robust concerning data uncertainties due to the impact of collection conditions (like acquisition parameters or variability in manual annotations) and the presence of rare and/or outlying cases, which become highly influential for minority classes lead to overfitting.

      This work reviews state-of-the-art AI methods for radiomics, the specific challenges that they must face in medical imaging applications and the latest advances for reliable personalized early diagnosis of lung cancer.
