Machine learning-based Radiomics analysis for differentiation degree and lymphatic node metastasis of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Abstract Background Radiomics may provide more objective and accurate predictions for extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ECC). In this study, we developed radiomics models based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and machine learning to preoperatively predict differentiation degree (DD) and lymph nod...

In this study, we developed radiomics models based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and machine learning to preoperatively predict differentiation degree (DD) and lymph node metastasis (LNM) of ECC. Methods A group of 100 patients diagnosed with ECC was included. The ECC status of all patients was confirmed by pathology.
