The goal of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of texture features measured with MRI compared to qualitative imaging traits for the prediction of histopathologic and genomic characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions. Texture features exhibited additional, complementary correlations with histopathology and genomics compared to qualitative imaging traits, including association with microvascular invasion and expression of immunotherapy target CTLA4. These promising results warrant further investigation of texture features as predictors of histopathologic and genomics measurements in HCC.
