Abstract

BACKGROUND: To develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based model using Radiomics, deep learning (DL) features extracted from F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) Positron emission tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) images of tumor and cervical lymph node with clinical feature for predicting cervical lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
