How we do it
Digital images can be expressed with hundreds of “textural features”, numbers, which identify specific patterns. The values of blood analysis are also numbers. Finally, digital health records annotated by medical doctors can be also represented as numbers in a database. A patient is therefore uniquely identified by a “chain” of these numbers. This is the Radiolytx digital Patient ID, representing the frontier of “radiomics”. Machine learning algorithms compare the patient with the categories in the rich database and classifies it according to the risk of developing the target illness.
