Abstract
- Radiogenomics or imaging genomics is a novel omics strategy of associating imaging data with genetic information, which has the potential to advance personalized medicine. Imaging features extracted from PET or PET/CT enable assessment of in vivo functional and physiological activity and provide comprehensive tumor information non-invasively. However, PET features are considered secondary to features on conventional imaging, and there has not yet been a review of the radiogenomic approach using PET features. This review article summarizes the current state of PET-based radiogenomic research for cancer, which discusses some of its limitations and directions for future study.
