Core Tip
Core tip: Radiomics researches have demonstrated promising results for the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) with other gastrointestinal neoplasms in the stomach and duodenum. Excellent performances have been reported for the evaluation of risk status, the preoperative identification of high-risk tumors, and the prediction of prognosis after target therapies. Radiogenomics studies are still lacking, with only initial evidences describing the potential of radiomics for the diagnosis of GISTs without KIT mutations. In this work we review the new advances in radiomics applied to the computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of GISTs.
