Slides presented at the Molecular Med Tri-Con 2018 Precision Medicine, "Emerging Role of Radiomics in Precision Medicine" (http://www.triconference.com/Precision-Medicine/) Abstract The goal of this talk is to discuss the role of data standards, and specifically the Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) standard, in supporting radiomics research. From the clinical images, to the storage of image annotations and results of radiomics analysis, standardization can potentially have transformative effect by enabling discovery, reuse and mining of the data, and integration of the radiomics workflows into the healthcare enterprise.
