Background Regional lymph node metastasis (LNM) assessment is crucial for predicting intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) prognosis. However, imaging assessment has limitations for identifying LNM. Purpose To investigate the association between MRI radiomics features, regional LNM status, and prog...
