Randomized Controlled Trial
Preoperative prediction of pelvic lymph nodes metastasis in early-stage cervical cancer using radiomics nomogram developed based on T2-weighted MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging.
To explore an MRI-based radiomics nomogram for preoperatively predicting of pelvic lymph node (PLN) metastasis in patients with early-stage cervical cancer (ECC). ⋯ The radiomics nomogram based on joint T2WI and DWI demonstrated an improved prediction ability for PLN metastasis in ECC. This noninvasive and convenient tool may be used to facilitate preoperative identification of PLN metastasis in patients with ECC.
