description Background: The initial assessment of trauma is a time-consuming and challenging task. The purpose of this research is to examine the diagnostic effectiveness and usefulness of machine learning models paired with radiomics features to identify blunt traumatic liver injury in abdominal computed tomography (CT) images. Materials and Methods: In this study, 600 CT scan images of people with mild and severe liver damage due to trauma and healthy people were collected from the Kaggle dataset. The axial images were segmented by an experienced radiologist, and radiomics features were extracted from each region of interest. Initially, 30 machine learning models were implemented, and finally, three machine learning models were selected including Light Gradient-Boosting Machine (LGBM), Ridge Classifier, and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and their performance was examined in more detail. Results: The two criteria of precision and specificity of LGBM and XGBoost models in diagnosing mild liver injury were calculated to be 100%. Only 6.00% of cases were misdiagnosed by the LGBM model. The LGBM model achieved 100% sensitivity and 99.00% accuracy in diagnosing severe liver injury. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve value and precision of this model were also calculated to be 99.00% and 98.00%, respectively. Conclusion: The artificial intelligence models used in this study have great potential to improve patient care by assisting radiologists and other physicians in diagnosing and staging trauma-related liver injuries. These models can help prioritize positive studies, allow more rapid evaluation, and identify more severe injuries that may require immediate intervention.
