A radiomics-based model to classify the etiology of liver cirrhosis using gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI.

ABSTRACT: The implementation of radiomics in radiology is gaining interest due to its wide range of applications. To develop a radiomics-based model for classifying the etiology of liver cirrhosis using gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI, 248 patients with a known etiology of liver cirrhosis who underwent 306 gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI examinations were included in the analysis. MRI examinations were classified into 6 groups according to the etiology of liver cirrhosis: alcoholic cirrhosis, viral hepatitis, cholestatic liver disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), autoimmune hepatitis, and other. MRI examinations were randomized into training and testing subsets. Radiomics features were extracted from regions of interest segmented in the hepatobiliary phase images. The fivefold cross-validated model
