Development and validation of a radiomics model of magnetic resonance for predicting liver metastasis in resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nearly one fourth of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) occur to liver metastasis after surgery, and liver metastasis is a risk factor for prognosis for those patients with surgery therapy. However, there is no effective way to predict liver metastasis post-operation.

Method

Clinical data and preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of PDAC patients diagnosed between July 2010 and July 2020 were retrospectively collected from three hospital centers in China. The significant MRI radiomics features or clinicopathological characteristics were used to establish a model to predict liver metastasis in the development and validation cohort.

Results

A total of 204 PDAC patients from three hospital centers were divided randomly (7:3) into dev
