Core Tip
Core Tip: Radiomics features can be used to predict the macrotrabecular-massive hepatocellular carcinoma (MTM-HCC) subtype. The logistic regression algorithm can improve the accuracy and stability of predicting MTM-HCC. Age, alpha-fetoprotein, tumour size, tumour-to-liver apparent diffusion coefficient ratio, and radiomics score were significant independent predictors of MTM-HCC. The nomogram based on radiomics, clinical and radiological features can serve as a noninvasive biomarker to preoperatively identify MTM-HCC.
