The application value of radiomics in the nutritional therapy of surgical patients / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

The incidence of malnutrition in surgical patients is high and affects the clinical outcome of patients. Through the extraction and analysis of image data, radiomics can assess changes in the composition of the body, such as skeletal muscle and fat, and it demonstrates tremendous potential in nutritional screening, assessment, diagnosis, and evaluation of treatment effects, emerging as a crucial evaluation tool in nutritional therapy for surgical patients. Furthermore, radiomics can predict patients' clinical outcomes, providing more precise treatment plans. Therefore, the application of radiomics should be fully emphasized in nutritional therapy for surgical patients to promote their enhanced recovery. With the continuous development and improvement of radiomics technology in the future, its application in nutritional therapy for surgical patients is expected to become more extensive and profound, bringing better treatment outcomes and quality of life to patients.
