Abstract

OBJECTIVES: At present, there are many limitations in the evaluation of lymph node metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma. Currently, there is a demand for a safe and accurate method to predict lymph node metastasis of lung cancer. In this study, radiomics was used to accurately predict the lymph node status of lung adenocarcinoma patients based on contrast-enhanced CT.
