Contrast-enhanced ultrasound for diagnosing subtypes of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: a comparative study with poorly differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma
A user-friendly, decision tree-based diagnostic model was developed to accurately predict ICC subtypes and pHCC, facilitating improved clinical decision-making. The decision tree-based diagnostic model effectively diagnosed small-duct type and large-duct type intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, as well as poorly differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma.
