Preoperative Prediction of Microvascular Invasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Integrating Multimodal Ultrasound and Clinical Data: A Multicenter Study

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 21, 2026 · UTC

Background: Microvascular invasion (MVI) predicts recurrence and survival in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) but requires postoperative histopathology for diagnosis. We developed and validated a model integrating multimodal ultrasound and clinical data for preoperative MVI prediction. Methods: This multicenter study included 489 patients with HCC from eight centers. All patients had B-mode ultrasound (BUS), color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI), dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (DCE-US), and clinical information. Data from seven centers (n = 421) were used for model development with five-fold c
