Research: CT foundation model and radiomics reveal distinct colorectal cancer subtypes
Our team published a new study in Research that integrates CT foundation model features with radiomic features to characterize clinically and biologically distinct colorectal cancer subtypes.
The work extends imaging-based colorectal cancer research from prediction of individual endpoints toward non-invasive characterization of disease heterogeneity, linking information in routine CT scans with clinically relevant and biologically informed patient stratification.
Key points:
- Combines CT foundation model representations with conventional radiomic features.
- Defines colorectal cancer subtypes with distinct clinical and biological characteristics.
- Supports the use of imaging-derived phenotypes as a complement to molecular characterization.
