“…Therefore, more comprehensive data and multiple indicators were required to construct the predictive model with the optimal diagnostic efficiency. It is widely known that spectral CT quantitative parameters can predict lymph node metastasis in GC [ 26 , 27 ], which was consistent with our finding that some spectral quantitative parameters were highly correlated with LVI. As a result, VIC was an independent risk factor of LVI increased the probability of LVI by 1.165-fold for every unit increase in its value, which was consistent with the previous study [ 2 ].…”
