Core Tip

Core Tip: In the present study employed radiomics to extract features from computed tomography images of primary intestinal lymphoma and Crohn's disease, followed by the construction of machine learning models for improved differentiation between these two conditions. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model with 5-fold cross validation was utilized for feature selection, resulting in the identification of 13 optimal predictive radiomics features along with 4 clinical features. Ultimately, all phase models incorporating radiomics features and a combined model integrating both radiomics and clinical features were developed.
