Popis: Recent advances in artificial intelligence have greatly impacted the field of medical imaging and vastly improved the development of computational algorithms for data analysis. In the field of pediatric neuro-oncology, radiomics, the process of obtaining high-dimensional data from radiographic images, has been recently utilized in applications including survival prognostication, molecular classification, and tumor type classification. Similarly, radiogenomics, or the integration of radiomic and genomic data, has allowed for building comprehensive computational models to better understand disease etiology. While there exist excellent review articles on radiomics and radiogenomic pipelines and their applications in adult solid tumors, in this review article, we specifically review these computational approaches in the context of pediatric medulloblastoma tumors. Based on our systematic literature research via PubMed and Google Scholar, we provide a detailed summary of a total of 15 articles that have utilized radiomic and radiogenomic analysis for survival prognostication, tumor segmentation, and molecular subgroup classification in the context of pediatric medulloblastoma. Lastly, we shed light on the current challenges with the existing approaches as well as future directions and opportunities with using these computational radiomic and radiogenomic approaches for pediatric medulloblastoma tumors.
