Claim 27:
28. A method, comprising:
accessing one or more medical imaging scans of a tumor, wherein the tumor is segmented on the one or more medical imaging scans;
segmenting tumor-associated vasculature (TAV) associated with the tumor based on the one or more medical imaging scans;
extracting one or more features from the TAV, the one or more features comprising one or more of at least one TAV spatial orientation feature or a statistic of the at least one TAV spatial orientation feature, wherein the at least one TAV spatial orientation feature comprises one or more of a vessel orientation along a XY projection image, a vessel orientation along a XZ projection image, a vessel orientation along a YZ projection image, a vessel orientation along a rotation-elevation projection image, a vessel orientation along a distance-rotation projection image, or a vessel orientation along a distance-elevation projection image;
providing the one or more features extracted from the TAV to a trained machine learning model; and
receiving, from the trained machine learning model, one of a predicted response to a treatment for the tumor or a prognosis for the tumor.
