Predictive modeling based on tumor spectral CT parameters and clinical features for postoperative complications in patients undergoing colon resection for cancer

ConclusionsThe model combining MonoE40keV-VP and VFA can predict POCs before surgery in colon cancer and provide a basis for individualized management plans.Critical relevance statementThe model combining MonoE40keV-VP and visceral fat area can predict postoperative complications before surgery in colon cancer and provide a basis for individualized management plans.Key points• Visceral fat area and MonoE40keV-VP were independent predictors of postoperative complications in colon cancer.• The combined model yielded a high AUC, sensitivity, and specificity in predicting postoperative complications.• The combined model was superior to the single visceral fat area or MonoE40keV-VP in predicting postoperative complications.Graphical Abstract
