Predictive potential of intratumoral and multiregion peritumoral radiomics

This study published in Insights into Imaging highlighted the potential of a multiparametric MRI-based radiomic model that integrated intratumoral and peritumoral features as a tool to predict differentiation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The authors found that the IntraPeri model showed an outstanding ability to predict individualized HCC differentiation through integrating intratumoral and optimal peritumoral features.

Key points:

• Both the intratumoral radiomics model and clinical features were useful for predicting HCC differentiation.
• The Peri_10mm radiomics model demonstrated better diagnostic ability than other peritumoral region-based models.
• The IntraPeri radiomics fusion model outperformed the other models for predicting HCC differentiation.
