Whole-lung computed tomography radiomics combined with clinical features for differentiating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis from drug-sensitive tuberculosis: a retrospective multi-center study

Integrating whole-lung CT radiomics with clinical features significantly enhances the diagnostic accuracy of MDR-TB. The combined model outperforms individual models, underscoring the potential of radiomic-clinical data integration. This approach could expand MDR-TB screening coverage without additional economic burden, thereby facilitating prevention and control.
