影像组学在肝细胞癌中的应用进展

Advances in the Application of Radiomics in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

肝细胞癌是原发性肝癌最常见的类型,我国肝癌发病率及死亡率都处于较高水平,严重威胁着人类的生命健康。影像组学利用计算机复杂的图像分析能力以及海量的医学成像数据,为现代医学提供了强大的工具。影像组学将医学影像诊断和大数据技术相融合,通过提取肉眼无法识别的图像特征,客观量化病灶的特征变化及分布潜在规律,为肝癌的诊断、分级、评估和预后提供依据,为患者的个体化、综合性、精准性治疗提供辅助作用。本文简要介绍影像组学的概念及其在肝细胞癌领域的应用进展。

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of primary liver cancer. The incidence and mortality of liver cancer in China are at a high level, which seriously threatens human life and health. Radiomics utilizes complex image analysis capabilities of computer and massive amounts of medical imaging data, providing a powerful tool in modern medicine. By integrating medical imag-ing diagnosis with big data technology, radiomics can objectively quantify the characteristic chang-es and potential distribution of lesions by extracting image features that cannot be recognized by the naked eye, providing a basis for the diagnosis, classification, evaluation and prognosis of liver cancer, and providing an auxiliary role for the individualized, comprehensive and accurate treat-ment of patients. This article briefly introduces the concept of radiomics and its application in hepatocellular carcinoma.
