Abstract

BACKGROUND: The onset of liver-related events (LREs) in fibrosis indicates a poor prognosis and worsens patients' quality of life, making the prediction and early detection of LREs crucial. The aim of this study was to develop a radiomics model using liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict LRE risk in patients undergoing antiviral treatment for chronic fibrosis caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV).
