Radiomics for predictive use
Author | Aims | Imaging modality | Number (training and validation sets, where available) |
Conclusion |
---|---|---|---|---|
Lewis et al. [9] | To distinguish hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from other primary liver cancers (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [ICC] and combined HCC-ICC) through volumetric quantitative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram parameters and LI-RADS categorization | MRI | 63 | Combination of quantitative ADC histogram parameters and LI-RADS categorization yielded the best prediction accuracy for distinction of HCC compared to ICC and combined HCC-ICC |
Wu et al. [10] | To evaluate the feasibility of using radiomics with precontrast MRI for classifying HCC and hepatic haemangioma (HH) | MRI | 369 | Radiomics-based assessments could be used to distinguish between HCC and HH on precontrast images, thereby allowing noninvasively efficient identification and minimizing errors from visual inspection |
Oyama et al. [11] | To evaluate the accuracy for classification of hepatic tumours | MRI |
37 HCCs, 23 metastatic tumours, and 33 HHs |
Using texture analysis or topological data analysis allows for classification of the three hepatic tumours with considerable accuracy |
Wu et al. [12] | To predict histopathological grading for HCC cases | MRI | 170 | A computed radiomics signature itself or combined with clinical factors could help to classify the patients into high-grade or low-grade HCC |
