1. Artificial intelligence techniques like machine learning can be used to analyze multiple variables from medical imaging data and clinical records to make predictions.
2. Studies have shown that combining functional imaging parameters, clinical factors, and texture features using support vector machines or neural networks can improve prediction of diseases like cancer compared to individual readings.
3. With the trend of large multi-parametric datasets from PET/MR imaging, applying statistical machine learning approaches to integrated image "big data" could further enhance diagnostic performance for conditions like predicting tumor response to treatments.
