Table 6 The validation results of the proposed method by randomly using a proportion of the patient data as the independent testing data and using the rest of the patient data to establish the corresponding machine-learning model
Proportion of the independent testing data in the entire patient data (%) | Correlation coefficients between the model’s estimation results and the liver fat proportion from MR mDIXON quantification | P value |
|---|---|---|
5 | 0.8249 (95% CI 0.7223 to 0.8920) | < 0.00001 |
10 | 0.8049 (95% CI 0.6925 to 0.8791) | < 0.00001 |
15 | 0.7816 (95% CI 0.7173 to 0.8326) | < 0.00001 |
