Objective  To establish and verify a computed tomography (CT)-based multi-class prediction model for discriminating the risk stratification of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).    Materials and Methods  A total of 381 patients with GISTs were confirmed by surgery and pathology. Information on 213 patients were obtained from one hospital and used as training cohort, whereas the details of 168 patients were collected from two other hospitals and used as independent validation cohort. Regions of interest on CT images of arterial and venous phases were drawn, radiomics features were extracted, and dimensionality reduction processing was performed. Using a one-vs-rest method, a Random Forest-based GISTs risk three-class prediction model was established, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the performance of the multi-class classification model, and the generalization ability was verified using external data.    Results  The training cohort included 96 very low-risk and low-risk, 60 intermediate-risk and 57 high-risk patients. External validation cohort included 82 very low-risk and low-risk, 48 intermediate-risk and 38 high-risk patients. The GISTs risk three-class radiomics model had a macro/micro average area under the curve (AUC) of 0.84 and an accuracy of 0.78 in the training cohort. It had a stable performance in the external validation cohort, with a macro/micro average AUC of 0.83 and an accuracy of 0.80.    Conclusion  CT radiomics can discriminate GISTs risk stratification. The performance of the three-class radiomics prediction model is good, and its generalization ability has also been verified in the external validation cohort, indicating its potential to assist stratified and accurate treatment of GISTs in the clinic.
