Review on article of preoperative prediction in chronic hepatitis B virus patients using spectral computed tomography and machine learning

World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Oct 14;30(38):4239-4241. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i38.4239.

Abstract

This letter comments on the article that developed and tested a machine learning model that predicts lymphovascular invasion/perineural invasion status by combining clinical indications and spectral computed tomography characteristics accurately. We review the research content, methodology, conclusions, strengths and weaknesses of the study, and introduce follow-up research to this work.

Keywords: Gastric cancer; Lymphovascular invasion; Machine learning; Perineural invasion; Spectral computed tomography.
