A clinical-radiomics nomogram based on multisequence MRI for predicting intraoperative vertebral artery injury in patients with primary cervical spine tumor: a diagnostic study

Key Points

• This study aims to develop a nomogram that combines radiomic signatures and clinical features to assess the risk of intraoperative vertebral artery injury in patients with primary cervical spine tumors.
• Developed a nomogram based on multisequence MRI data and clinical features.
• Included radiomic analysis to extract significant patterns associated with vertebral artery injury.
• Evaluated the nomogram’s predictive accuracy for intraoperative injuries.
• The nomogram demonstrates a significant ability to predict the risk of intraoperative vertebral artery injury.
• Increased accuracy in forecasting injuries compared to traditional clinical assessments.
