+    Fréchet Radiomics Distance (FRD). Computes the Fréchet distance between two
+    distributions of radiomic feature vectors, in the same way as the Fréchet
+    Inception Distance (FID) but for radiomics-based features.
+
+    Unlike FID, FRD uses interpretable, clinically relevant radiomic features
+    (e.g. from PyRadiomics) and works for both 2D and 3D images, with optional
+    conditioning by anatomical masks. See Konz et al. "Fréchet Radiomic Distance
+    (FRD): A Versatile Metric for Comparing Medical Imaging Datasets."
+    https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.01496
+
+    This metric accepts two groups of pre-extracted radiomic feature vectors with
+    shape (number of samples, number of features). The same Fréchet distance
+    formula as in FID is applied to the mean and covariance of these features.
+
+    Args:
+        y_pred: Radiomic feature vectors for the first distribution (e.g. from
+            generated or reconstructed images), shape (N, F).
+        y: Radiomic feature vectors for the second distribution (e.g. from real
+            images), shape (N, F).
+
+    Returns:
+        Scalar tensor containing the FRD value.
