Core Tip
Core Tip: Emerging imaging techniques, particularly multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and radiomics, enhance prognostic models for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with radiofrequency ablation and transarterial chemoembolization. Incorporating advanced imaging features alongside clinical factors refines prediction accuracy, aiding personalized treatment and improving patient outcomes. This integration is crucial for advancing HCC prognosis and therapy.
