Editor's note: It appears no field—least of all medicine—is spared from the increasing need to digitize and analyze greater and greater amounts of data, and radiomics is one of the new, sophisticated tools that allows medical professionals to do so.

Here is a glimpse into a study indicating the method holds promise for animal health, much as it appears to for humans.
