impact of hepatocellular carcinoma heterogeneity on computed tomography as a prognostic indicator

We assessed the relationship between the heterogeneity of HCC on preoperative non-contrast-enhanced CT and patient prognosis. The heterogeneity of CT images from 122 patients was assessed and texture feature parameters such as mean, standard deviation (SD), entropy, mean of the positive pixels (MPP), skewness, and kurtosis were obtained using filtration. CT texture features of non-contrast-enhanced...
