Core Tip

Core Tip: The high molecular heterogeneity in hepatocellular carcinoma poses huge challenges for clinical practice or trial design and has become a major barrier to improving the management of hepatocellular carcinoma. Radiomics could quantify tumoral phenotypes and heterogeneity, which may provide benefits in clinical decision-making at a lower cost. Here, we review the workflow and application of radiomics in hepatocellular carcinoma.
