Objective  To investigate microvascular invasion (MVI) of HCC through a noninvasive multi-disciplinary team (MDT)-like radiomics fusion model on dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) computed tomography (CT).    Methods  This retrospective study included 111 patients with pathologically proven hepatocellular carcinoma, which comprised 57 MVI-positive and 54 MVI-negative patients. Target volume of interest (VOI) was delineated on four DCE CT phases. The volume of tumor core (V  tc  ) and seven peripheral tumor regions (V  pt  , with varying distances of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 mm to tumor margin) were obtained. Radiomics features extracted from different combinations of phase(s) and VOI(s) were cross-validated by 150 classification models. The best phase and VOI (or combinations) were determined. The top predictive models were ranked and screened by cross-validation on the training/validation set. The model fusion, a procedure analogous to multidisciplinary consultation, was performed on the top-3 models to generate a final model, which was validated on an independent testing set.    Results  Image features extracted from V  tc  +V  pt(12mm)   in the portal venous phase (PVP) showed dominant predictive performances. The top ranked features from V  tc  +V  pt(12mm)   in PVP included one gray level size zone matrix (GLSZM)-based feature and four first-order based features. Model fusion outperformed a single model in MVI prediction. The weighted fusion method achieved the best predictive performance with an AUC of 0.81, accuracy of 78.3%, sensitivity of 81.8%, and specificity of 75% on the independent testing set.    Conclusion  Image features extracted from the PVP with V  tc  +V  pt(12mm)   are the most reliable features indicative of MVI. The MDT-like radiomics fusion model is a promising tool to generate accurate and reproducible results in MVI status prediction in HCC.
