[Abstract] The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma has been high in recent years. Today, with the emphasis on the concept of "precision medicine", accurate information is needed to provide efficient and individualized diagnosis and treatment for patients. Radiomics is of great significance for improving the individualization and precision of medical strategies because it can obtain the information of the overall heterogeneity of tumor noninvasively. This paper mainly discusses the radiomics research progress in diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, including the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, prediction of gene phenotypes and molecular markers, efficacy monitoring and prognosis prediction , and based on the research achievements of deep learning applications. The demerits of radiomics technology and its future development direction were also summarized at the end of article.
