Aims: This study aimed to determine whether texture analysis of preoperative magnetic resonance images could predict expression of Ki67 in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).
Methods: 83 patients confirmed HCC were included. Texture analysis on 3.0 Tesla MR Unit included histogram, co-occurrence matrix, run-length matrix, gradient, auto-regressive model, and wavelet transform features as calculated by MaZda software.
Results: HCC with higher Ki67 label index tend to display a lower differentiation pattern. Larger tumors usually had higher Ki67 label index. Texture parameters generated from arterial phase imaging was the most frequently significant correlation.
Conclusions: Texture analysis could be used to discriminate Ki67proliferation status in HCC.
