Radiogenomics of gastroenterological cancer: The dawn of personalized medicine with artificial intelligence‐based image analysis

Radiogenomics is a new field of medical science that integrates two omics, radiomics and genomics, and may bring a major paradigm shift in traditional personalized medicine strategies that require tumor tissue samples. In addition, the acquisition of the data does not require special imaging equipment or special imaging conditions, and it is possible to use image information from computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography‐computed tomography in clinical practice, so the versatility and cost‐effectiveness of radiogenomics are expected. So far, the field of radiogenomics has developed, especially in the fields of brain tumors and breast cancer, but recently, reports of radiogenomic research on gastroenterological cancer are increasing. This review provides an overview of radiogenomic research methods and summarizes the current radiogenomic research in gastroenterological cancer. In addition, the application of artificial intelligence is considered to be indispensable for the integrated analysis of enormous omics information in the future, and the future direction of this research, including the latest technologies, will be discussed.
