Cardiac radiomics: an interactive approach for 4D data exploration

Abstract Cardiac diseases manifest in a multitude of interconnected changes in morphology and dynamics. Radiomics approaches are a promising technique to analyze such changes directly from image data. We propose novel features to specifically describe moving cardiac structures, and an interactive 4D visualization method to explore such data. Prototypical tests with an open data set containing different diseases show that our approach can be a fast and useful tool for the 4D analysis of heterogeneous cohort data.
