This house believes that radiomics will not replace real radiobiology in dose-response modelling
Karl Butterworth, United Kingdom;
Laure Marignol, Ireland
Whether you are a radiation biologist, physicist, therapist or oncologist, you have faced with the challenges of modelling dose response relationships and the consequences being able to so as accurately. Radiomics is a potentially very powerful tool to better understand dose response relationships yet its value in replacing classical radiobiological endpoints remains debatable. In this session, we will hear from leading experts in the field on whether our efforts are best placed into analysing our images (radiomics) or digging into the complexity of biological responses (radiobiology). Will you be proven right, swayed to the other side or split in the middle?
