These datasets, which are characterized by containing more features than samples, have different statistical properties than other datasets, thereby complicating their training by machine learning and deep learning methods. This review critically examines the challenges of both reproducibility issues and interpretability, beginning with an overview of the radiomics pipeline, followed by a discussion of the imaging and statistical reproducibility issues.
