Systematic review: radiomics for the diagnosis and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Advances in imaging technology have the potential to transform the early diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through quantitative image analysis. Computational "radiomic" techniques extract biomarker information from images which can be used to improve diagnosis and predict tumour biology.

Aims

To perform a systematic review on radiomic features in HCC diagnosis and prognosis, with a focus on reporting metrics and methodologic standardisation.

Methods

We performed a systematic review of all full-text articles published from inception through December 1, 2019. Standardised data extraction and quality assessment metrics were applied to all studies.

Results

A total of 54 studies were included for analysis. Radiomic features demonst
