Fig. 1From: Development and validation of a multi-modal ultrasomics model to predict response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancerFlowchart of this studyUltrasomics features extracted from the region of interest of tumors based on BUS and CEUS images, respectively. Mann-Whitney U test, spearman, and LASSO were utilized to reduce feature’s dimension. Five models were built based on ultrasomics and clinical analysis using MLP classifierBUS: B-mode ultrasound; CEUS: contrast-enhanced ultrasound; LASSO: least absolute shrinkage and selection operator; MLP: multilayer perceptron neural networkBack to article page
