This retrospective study
explored the value of a radiomics-based model on Gd-EOB-DTPA-Enhanced MRI for
predicting liver function and cirrhosis in clinic. Multi-class radiomics
feature extraction was performed on 2D-view whole liver at portal level on HBP
MRI obtained 20 min after Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI. A prediction model including
15 radiomics features using a machine learning logistic regression classifier showed
the mean AUCs on train dataset and test dataset were 0.91 and 0.87 for
diagnosing Child-Pugh A respectively; 0.93 and 0.93 for diagnosing liver cirrhosis,
respectively. Radiomics analysis of gadoxetic acid-enhanced HBP images allows
for accurate diagnosis of clinically significant liver function reservation and
liver cirrhosis and may be a promising noninvasive method for assessment of liver
cirrhosis.
