Two breast cancer tumours of similar size can have markedly different imaging features. Using advanced radiomics techniques, the research team identifies subtle differences in magnetic resonance images that are difficult to detect through conventional observation. This allows tumour images to provide information beyond size and location that can help predict drug response.
