Deep learning model using contrast-enhanced CT imaging features and clinical variables to predict surgical risk after hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma
Background Accurate preoperative risk assessment is crucial for patients undergoing hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Conventional prediction methods are limited by the inability to capture complex relationships among multiple factors, and existing deep learning (DL) approaches focus on individual surgical outcomes. In this study, we developed and evaluated a DL model that integrates preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) imaging features and clinical variables to predict intrao …
