Radiomics involves the application of image processing algorithms to define a series of quantitative image characteristics. We sought to develop a clinically usable radiomics signature for primary oropharyngeal cancers (OPC), using the gross tumor volume (GTV) regions of interest (ROIs) to derive a “phenotypic profile” associated with time to local recurrence (LR).
