Prediction of Microvascular Invasion in Hcc Using Spatiotemporal Radiomics of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound: A Deep Learning Model with Transcriptomics Correlation

Background: The presence of microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a critical prognostic indicator, but it can only be diagnosed by postoperative histopathology. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), with its dynamic microvascular imaging capability, holds promise in prediction of MVI.
