OBJECTIVES: The potential of medical imaging to non-invasively assess intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) is increasingly being recognized. This study aimed to investigate the value of the ITH-based deep learning model for preoperative prediction of histopathologic grade in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
