Abstract

PURPOSE: Intra-operative factors are crucial to early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after microwave ablation (MWA), but few models have been developed based on intra-operative data to predict HCC recurrence after MWA. To quantify the intra-operative factors associated with MWA and establish an artificial intelligence (AI) model for predicting early recurrence of HCC after ablation based on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) fusion imaging.
