Deep learning radiomics (DLR) is a novel technique in the field of medical imaging combined with artificial intelligence analysis. It can solve several disadvantages of traditional radiomics
including low degree of automation and standardization
tedious feature extraction steps
and time-consuming and labor-consuming. DLR further improves the accuracy and reliability of radiomic models in tumor diagnosis and prognosis prediction. This paper firstly introduced the principle and workflow of the DLR method; then introduced its applications in tumor diagnosis
staging and typing prediction
and survival prognosis evaluation; and finally made the summary and prospect on DLR.
