Abstract
Radiomics is an emerging and exciting field of study involving the extraction of many quantitative features from radiographic images. Positron emission tomography (PET) images are used in cancer diagnosis and staging. Utilizing radiomics on PET images can better quantify the spatial relationships between image voxels and generate more consistent and accurate results for diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, etc. This chapter gives the general steps a researcher would take to extract PET radiomic features from medical images and properly develop models to implement.
