Differentiating HCC from ICC and prediction of ICC grade based on MRI deep-radiomics: Using lesions and their extended regions

Primary liver cancer (PLC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer-related death [1]. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) are two pathological types of PLC, accounting for about 95  % [2]. In the future, the incidence of liver cancer remains expected to increase [3]. Therefore, treatment and prevention of PLC remain a huge challenge. Due to the different molecular characteristics and mechanisms between HCC and ICC, the treatment methods are different, and the prognosis of the ICC is worse than that of HCC [4].
