Background: This study explored the feasibility of radiofrequency (RF)-based radiomics analysis techniques for the preoperative prediction of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods: The RF-based radiomics analysis method used ultrasound multifeature maps calculated from the RF signals of HCC patients, including direct energy attenuation (DEA) feature map, skewness of spectrum difference (SSD) feature map, and noncentrality parameter S of the Rician distribution (NRD) feature map. From each of the above ultrasound maps, 345 high-throughput radiomics features were extracted. Then, the useful radiomics features were selected by the sparse representation method and input into support vector machine (SVM) classifier for PD-1 prediction.Results and Conclusion: Among all the RF-based prediction models and the ultrasound grayscale comparative model, the RF-based model using all of the three ultrasound feature maps had the highest prediction accuracy (ACC) and area under the curve (AUC), which were 92.5% and 94.23%, respectively. The method proposed in this paper is effective for the meaningful feature extraction of RF signals and can effectively predict PD-1 in patients with HCC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
