Radiomics has the potential to identify the interlesional heterogeneity of CT texture among individual liver metastases. In this proof-of-concept study for the quantification and comparison of imaging-related heterogeneity in liver metastases a variation in the extent of heterogeneity levels in CRC and PDAC liver metastases was shown.
