Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours are rare mesenchymal neoplasms originating from the Cajal cells and represent the most common sarcomas in the gastroenteric tract. Symptoms may be absent or non-specific, ranging from fatigue and weight loss to acute abdomen. Nowadays endoscopy, echoendoscopy, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography are the main methods for diagnosis. Because of their rarity, these neoplasms may not be included immediately in the differential diagnosis of a solitary abdominal mass. Radiomics is an emerging technique that can extract medical imaging information, not visible to the human eye, transforming it into quantitative data. The purpose of this review is to demonstrate how radiomics can improve the already known imaging techniques by providing useful tools for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of these tumours.
