Workflow for constructing the radiomic models. Task 1, for distinguishing chronic liver disease: NLF vs. (CLD + CPA + Child–Pugh class B and C (CPBC)); Task 2, for distinguishing cirrhosis: (NLF + CLD) vs. (CPA + CPBC); Task 3, for distinguishing decompensated cirrhosis: (NLF + CLD + CPA) vs. CPBC. NLF, normal liver function; CLD, chronic liver disease without cirrhosis; CPA, Child–Pugh class A; CPBC, Child–Pugh class B + C; AUC, area under the curve; DCA, decision curve analysis
