Abstract

Background: Radiomics combined with machine-learning has turned out to be a promising initiative in the field of breastcancer imaging that provides quantitative and non-invasive biomarkers to improve diagnostic and prognostic accuracy. Even though the technological advancement is very fast, issues about reproducibility, interpretability, and clinical implementation readiness still exist. Objective: The objective of the current review was to discuss the applications of ML-based radiomics in breast-cancer imaging and to compare the diagnostic accuracy, predictive performance, reproducibility, and translational potential of the different imaging modalities. Methods: Twenty peer-reviewed publications, published in the period between 2018 and 2025, were synthesized in the form of a narrative and included MRI, mammography, ultrasound, and PET/CT-based radiomics. Data that were extracted included imaging protocols, type of features, ML algorithms, performance measures and validation measures. Due to the high heterogeneity in the methods, the results were summarized narratively and thematically. Results: The performance of multipara metric MRI and hybrid radiomics deep-learning models indicated a high-diagnostic and-prognostic performance, with area-under-the-curve (AUC) of over 0.90 of lesion classification, nodal staging, recurrenceprognostication and treatment-response. Deep-learning radiomics using ultrasound also had strong non-invasive predictive power. The key limitations among studies involved inconsistency in the imaging acquisition, lack of external validation, and the lack of interpretation of intricate models. Conclusions: ML enhanced radiomics is a significant step towards precision diagnostics in breast cancer. However, standardized processes, explainable model structures, and multi-institutional validation are necessary in order to ensure clinical reliability, and to support translation into everyday practice.
