Description

Fengqiu Ruan and five co-authors test whether image features from CT scans can flag an aggressive form of liver cancer before surgery in a 2025 study. They mined scans for fine texture patterns, a method called radiomics, drawing features from both the tumor and a thin rim of tissue around it.

The team studied 486 patients and split them into training, testing, and check groups. A model using the rim just outside the tumor did best, and mixing rim and tumor features raised accuracy further in testing. Certain scan traits, such as a bright rim and bleeding inside the tumor, also marked the aggressive form. The score sorted patients by how soon the cancer came back.
