An MRI-based radiomics model shows potential for distinguishing low- from high-risk cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early form of breast cancer, according to a study published April 1 in Radiology. The study highlights how radiomics can help stratify risk in DCIS cases compared with clinical and qualitative imaging information alone, noted lead authors Kalina Slavkova, PhD, of Columbia University in New York City, and Ruya Kang, PhD, of Brown University in Providence, RI.
