Claim 19:
20. An apparatus, comprising:
memory configured to store data derived from one or more routine clinical medical imaging scans of including a tumor, wherein the tumor and tumor-associated vasculature (TAV) associated with the tumor are segmented in a three-dimensional segmentation;
one or more processors configured to:
extract two or more features from the TAV, the two or more features including at least one TAV spatial orientation feature or a statistic of the at least one TAV spatial orientation feature and at least one TAV morphology feature or a statistic of the at least one TAV morphology feature, the extraction using one or both of at least a portion of the three-dimensional segmentation or a projection onto a plane of at least a portion of the three-dimensional segmentation, such that the two or more features represent spatial orientation and morphology of at least a portion of the TAV in three dimensions;
provide the ene or more features extracted from the TAV to a trained machine learning model; and
receive, from the trained machine learning model, one of a predicted response to a treatment for the tumor or a prognosis for the tumor.
