Biparametric magnetic resonance imaging-based radiomics features for prediction of lymphovascular invasion in rectal cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preoperative assessment of lymphovascular invasion(LVI) of rectal cancer has very important clinical significance. However, accurate preoperative imaging evaluation of LVI is highly challenging because the resolution of MRI is still limited. Relatively few studies have focused on prediction of LVI of rectal cancer with the tool of radiomics, especially in patients with negative statue of MRI-based extramural vascular invasion (mrEMVI).The purpose of this study was to explore the preoperative predictive value of biparametric MRI-based radiomics features for LVI of rectal cancer in patients with the negative statue of mrEMVI.

Methods

The data of 146 cases of rectal adenocarcinoma confirmed by postoperative pathology were retrospectively collected. In the cases, 38 h
