Unraveling Ovarian Cancer: How Medical Images Help

Ovarian cancer is one of the most fatal gynecological cancers worldwide. While medical imaging is used to screen for ovarian cancer, accurately identifying whether a tumor is benign or malignant is still challenging. This is because the images can vary, making it hard to get objective results without the expert opinion of medical professionals. Radiomics solves this problem by extracting a wealth of information from standard medical images. When combined with genomics, it becomes radiogenomics, allowing for a more detailed and personalized understanding of a tumor's biological features.Radiomics uses artificial intelligence to analyze images, helping doctors differentiate between different types of ovarian tumors and predict how they might behave. This includes forecasting survival rates, how well treatments will work, the risk of cancer spreading, and the likelihood of it coming back. These tools can be a great help in managing ovarian cancer and advancing precision medicine.
