Deep Learning of radiology-genomics integration for computational oncology: A mini review
Feng‐ao Wang, Y Li, Tao Zeng
Abstract
In the field of computational oncology, patient status is often assessed using radiology-genomics, which includes two key technologies and data, such as radiology and genomics. Recent advances in deep learning have facilitated the integration of radiology-genomics data, and even new omics data, significantly improving the robustness and accuracy of clinical predictions. These factors are driving artificial intelligence (AI) closer to practical clinical applications. In particular, deep learning models are crucial in identifying new radiology-genomics biomarkers and therapeutic targets, supported by explainable AI (xAI) methods. This review focuses on recent developments in deep learning for radiology-genomics integration, highlights current challenges, and outlines some research directions for multimodal integration and biomarker discovery of radiology-genomics or radiology-omics that are urgently needed in computational oncology.
