Radiomics provides a new evaluation method for the prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) by extracting high throughput of quantitative descriptors from routinely acquired medical images. However, the research of the prognosis prediction of NPC based on radiomics derived from DWI images hasn’t been reported yet. The present study explores the value of DWI images in the pretreatment predictive of NPC with radiomics methods. By comparing the performance of three classifiers and different MRI sequences, we found that combined DWI and T2W showed optimal pretreatment predictive performance of NPC.
