    Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer and significantly impacts survival due to microvascular invasion (MVI).

  • 2

    Preoperative identification of MVI is crucial for optimizing treatment strategies, including surgical resection and liver transplantation.

  • 3

    Fractal analysis offers a quantitative method to assess complex vascular structures, potentially aiding in MVI prediction for HCC patients.

  • 4

    This study evaluates the feasibility of using contrast-enhanced CT and fractal analysis to assess MVI status in HCC patients.

  • 5

    The findings aim to enhance preoperative risk estimation and improve clinical management for patients undergoing curative resection for HCC.
