Abstract
Radiomics is a relatively new approach for image analysis. As a part of radiomics, texture analysis, which consists in extracting a great amount of quantitative data from original images, can be used to identify specific features that can help determining the actual nature of a pancreatic lesion and providing other information such as resectability, tumor grade, tumor response to neoadjuvant therapy or survival after surgery. In this review, the basic of radiomics, recent developments and the results of texture analysis using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in the field of pancreatic tumors are presented. Future applications of radiomics, such as artificial intelligence, are discussed.
