[Abstract] Objective To develop and validate a preoperative MRI radiomics model combining clinical factors in predicting early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after surgical resection.Materials and Methods One hundred and sixteen patients (82 in the training set and 34 in the test set), who had been pathologically diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with preoperative abdominal dynamic contrast-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and relevant clinical factors, were recruited in this retrospective study. The 3D slicer software was used to delineate the ROI of lesions and extract the radiomics features. The radiomics score model was established by utilizing the maximum correlation-minimum redundancy algorithm (mRMR), minimum absolute contraction and selection operator (LASSO) feature selection procedure, Similarly, the clinical factors were introduced to build the Logistic regression model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), Delong test and decision curve analysis (DCA) were performed to evaluate and compare the accuracy and difference of each radiomics model.Results In all,nine radiomics features were selected to construct the radiomics score model. The clinical factors model, including TNM stage, alpha-fetoprotein level, γ-glutamylaminotransferase, Child-Pugh grade. The radiomics nomogram of integrated the radiomics score and clinical factors demonstrated better discriminative performance (AUC=0.79, 95% CI: 0.63-0.96) than the Clinical factors models (AUC=0.71, 95% CI: 0.52-0.90),Delong test Z=2.363,P=0.018. The decision curve analysis presented the improved clinical net benefit.Conclusion The combined model based on preoperative MR radiomics and clinical factors can be served as effective imaging biomarker to predict early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after surgical resection.
