Core Tip

Core Tip: In this study, traditional radiomics and deep learning (DL) were used to model hepatocellular carcinoma in order to reflect the heterogeneity of tumors through voxel changes in images. The main purpose of this method is to extract the regions of interest features of the three-phase images of enhanced magnetic resonance imaging obtained before transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), construct the prediction model and nomogram through feature screening and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression, to construct a prediction model and nomogram to evaluate the clinical value of DL radiomics omics feature model and to predict progression-free survival after TACE.
