Radiomics toolbox: workflow & quality management

The Summer School will be completely dedicated to Radiomics, with a practical approach to workflow and tools, to favor a direct application of the acquired knowledge. The objective of this 3-day school, funded by the University of Pavia, is to provide students with a "toolbox" as complete as possible to operate in this field. The technical steps will be explored in detail during practical workshops in small groups: from data collection, to the organization of the same, to the analysis, to the extraction of features up to the presentation of the data. The extension was decided as it is hoped that the pandemic condition will allow the event to be held in person and, in compliance with the rules, it will be possible to have that practical and shared experience that all the teachers hoped to be able to offer to the students of the school.

Target group

Medical doctors, physicists, engineers, mathematicians, statisticians, data scientists

Course aim

The aim of this three-day School, coordinated by the University of Pavia, is to respond to these needs of a robust pipeline with quality control in order to translate research evidence into clinical practice. In this arduous attempt, the school will provide the attendants a complete “toolbox” to operate in this field. The technical steps will be explored in detail, ranging from data collection, data organization, analysis, feature extraction, and data presentation, both from a technical/operational perspective as well as from a medical/interpretative one. Special attention will be paid not only to the pipeline but also to quality assurance in order to ease an adequate translation of evidence into clinical practice.
