Development and validation of MRI-based radiomics signatures models for prediction of disease-free survival and overall survival in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

ConclusionsWe demonstrated that a combined predictive model based on MR Rad-S and clinical risk factors had better predictive efficacy than the radiomics models alone for patients with ESCC.Key Points• Magnetic resonance–based radiomics features combined with clinical risk factors can predict survival in patients with ESCC.• The radiomics nomogram can be used clinically to predict patient recurrence, DFS, and OS.• Magnetic resonance imaging is highly reproducible in visualizing lesions and contouring the whole tumor.
