## TL;DR

This paper discusses a new CT radiomics model that helps diagnose vein wall invasion in kidney cancer patients with venous tumor thrombus.

## Contribution

The paper introduces a novel CT radiomics model for preoperative diagnosis of vein wall invasion in renal cell carcinoma.

## Key findings

- The model uses computer vision to analyze CT scans for vein wall invasion.
- It aims to improve preoperative diagnosis accuracy in patients with venous tumor thrombus.

## Abstract

This commentary remarks on a recently published article by Zhao et al, which presents a CT radiomics model for the diagnosis of vein wall invasion in patients with renal cell carcinoma and venous tumor thrombus.
