    The study investigates the efficacy of radiomics and dual-energy CT (DECT) in assessing abdominal lymphoma in patients with suspected malignancy.

  • 2

    Radiomics features provide high-dimensional data that can enhance tumor characterization, potentially improving diagnosis and treatment outcomes.

  • 3

    DECT material decomposition allows for non-invasive tissue characterization, offering an alternative to traditional imaging methods with lower radiation exposure.

  • 4

    The combined application of radiomics and DECT features may improve the stratification of abdominal lymphoma compared to using DECT features alone.

  • 5

    A total of 72 patients with confirmed abdominal lymphoma were included in the study, emphasizing the need for accurate imaging biomarkers in oncology.
