Personalized assessment and treatment of severe patients with COVID-19 pneumonia have greatly affected the prognosis and survival of these patients. This study aimed to develop the radiomics models as the potential biomarkers to estimate the overall survival (OS) for the COVID-19 severe patients. A total of 74 COVID-19 severe patients were enrolled in this study, and 30 of them died during the follow-up period. First, the clinical risk factors of the patients were analyzed. Then, two radiomics signatures were constructed based on two segmented volumes of interest of whole lung area and lesion area. Two combination models were built depend on whether the clinic risk factors were used and/or whether two radiomics signatures were combined. Kaplan-Meier analysis were performed for validating two radiomics signatures and C-index was used to evaluated the predictive performance of all radiomics signatures and combination models. Finally, a radiomics nomogram combining radiomics signatures with clinical risk factors was developed for predicting personalized OS, and then assessed with respect to the calibration curve. Three clinical risk factors were found, included age, malignancy and highest temperature that influence OS. Both two radiomics signatures could effectively stratify the risk of OS in COVID-19 severe patients. The predictive performance of the combination model with two radiomics signatures was better than that only one radiomics signature was used, and became better when three clinical risk factors were interpolated. Calibration curves showed good agreement in both 15 d survival and 30 d survival between the estimation with the constructed nomogram and actual observation. Both two constructed radiomics signatures can act as the potential biomarkers for risk stratification of OS in COVID-19 severe patients. The radiomics+clinical nomogram generated might serve as a potential tool to guide personalized treatment and care for these patients.

Background: Previous studies mostly use single-type features to establish a prediction model. We aim to develop a comprehensive prediction model that effectively identify patients with poor prognosis for single hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on artificial intelligence (AI). : 236 single HCC patients were studied to establish a comprehensive prediction model.

Background/objectives: Accurate diagnosis is essential to avoid unnecessary procedures for thyroid incidentalomas (TIs). Advances in radiomics and machine learning applied to medical imaging offer promise for assessing thyroid nodules. This study utilized radiomics analysis on F-18 FDG PET/CT to improve preoperative differential diagnosis of TIs.

Objectives: To compare an MRI-based radiomics signature with the programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression score for predicting immunotherapy response in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
Methods: Consecutive patients with NPC who received immunotherapy between January 2019 and June 2022 were divided into training (n = 111) and validation (n = 66) sets. Tumor radiomics features were extracted from pretreatment MR images.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common tumors worldwide. Various factors in the tumor environment (TME) can lead to the activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), thereby affecting the occurrence and development of tumors. The objective of our study was to develop and validate a radiogenomic signature based on ERS to predict prognosis and systemic combination therapy response.

Introduction: This study predicted HRD score and status based on intra- and peritumoral radiomics in patients with ovarian cancer (OC) for better guiding the use of PARPi in clinical.
Methods: A total of 106 and 95 patients with OC were included between January 2022 and November 2023 for predicting HRD score and status, respectively. Radiomics features were extracted and quantitatively analyzed from intra- and peri-tumor regions in the CT image.
