Core Tip Radiomics-based models for predicting early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma hold substantial clinical promise, but their utility depends on transparent reporting and methodological rigor. This letter highlights key considerations - including clear endpoint definition, adherence to IBSI-standardized preprocessing, proper handling of feature selection and validation, and distinction between intra-examination and longitudinal delta-radiomics - to strengthen reproducibility and generalizability. Emphasizing biologically interpretable imaging markers and encouraging external validation can further support the translation of computed tomography-based radiomics into robust, clinically meaningful tools for postoperative HCC risk stratification.
