Assessment of Functional Liver Reserve Based on Gd-EOB-DTPA Enhanced MRI Radiomics and Delta Radiomics

Motivation: The current indocyanine green clearance test is not yet widespread. Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI imaging can assess the overall liver function, but it is challenging to quantitatively and accurately evaluate it. Goal(s): Our goal is to assess the ability of Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI radiomics and Delta radiomics for predicting functional liver reserve. Approach: We obtained MRI images from 117 patients, trained models on 70% of them, and tested models on the remaining patients. Results: The prediction models based on Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI radiomics and Delta radiomics are effective diagnostic tools for the quantitative assessment of functional liver reserve. Impact: Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI radiomics and Delta radiomics models can quantitatively assess functional liver reserve, aiding clinicians in selecting the right treatment, monitoring treatment progress, and predicting patient survival.
