Core Tip	This study developed a preoperative model combining spectral computed tomography parameters and clinical factors to predict postoperative complications in colorectal cancer. The portal venous phase normalized iodine concentration was identified as the most valuable imaging biomarker. The integrated model showed good discrimination (area under the curve = 0.843) and calibration (C-index = 0.821), providing a noninvasive tool for preoperative risk stratification and individualized perioperative management in colorectal cancer patients.
