Abstract
A computer-implemented method for determining tumor heterogeneity is provided. Embodiments of the method involve analyzing a radiological image of a tumor to calculate a value indicative of tumor activity at each of a plurality of locations in the tumor; determining whether each calculated value is above a predetermined threshold; and calculating a heterogeneity score for the tumor; wherein the heterogeneity score is calculated based on a volume fraction of the tumor having a value indicative of tumor activity above the predetermined threshold. Also provided are associated systems and computer program products.
