Artificial Intelligence Will Improve Molecular Imaging, Therapy and Theranostics. Which Are the Biggest Advantages for Therapy?

This chapter provides an overview of the topic of artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches in the assessment of treatment response and theranostics with a focus on hybrid and molecular oncologic imaging through a critical discussion of current literature. Following a review of machine learning methodology and its current applications, we will point out current deficits and briefly discuss future research directions in the field.
