Preliminary study on the ability of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography radiomics to predict vessels that encapsulate tumor clusters and prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma

FDG metabolism is significantly associated with VETC status in HCC patients. A comprehensive nomogram model based on PET/CT radiomics and clinical indicators has potential for preoperative prediction of VETC as well as patient prognosis.
