Abstract

A The recent years of the cardiovascular medicine saw a rapid development of advanced imaging modalities. The new era of personalized medicine takes advantage of what can be interpreted from medical images, searching for underlying connections between image phenotyping and biological characteristics to support precise clinical decisions. The application of radiomics in cardiovascular imaging has lagged behind other fields, such as oncology. While the current interpretation of cardiac and vascular images mainly depends on subjective and qualitative analysis, radiomics uses advanced image analysis to extract numerous quantitative features from digital images that are unrecognizable to the naked eye. The goal of this narrative review is to highlight the main findings of the recent use of radiomic analysis in the cardiovascular field. English-language articles published in the database PubMed were used for this review. The keywords used in the search included radiomics, cardiovascular or cardiac or aortic. Radiomics is expected to contribute to a more precise phenotyping of the cardiovascular disease, which can improve diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic decision making in the near future.
