FAIR quantitative imaging in oncology: How Semantic Web and Ontologies will support reproducible science

The automated extraction of quantitative imaging biomarkers from patient's scans, could augment physician decision making in radiation oncology. Unfortunately, lack of reproducibility and robust methodology current limits this promising field to be applied in the clinic. In this paper, we state how the combination of quantitative medical imaging with Semantic Web and Ontologies techniques could speed up the role of quantitative imaging.
