Biliary tract cancer is characterized by occult onset, highly malignancy and poor prognosis. Traditional medical imaging is an important tool for surgical strategies and prognostic assessment, but it can no longer meet the urgent need for accurate and individualized treatment in patients with biliary tract cancer. With the advent of the digital imaging era, the advancement of artificial intelligence technology has given a new vitality to digital imaging, and provided more possibilities for the development of medical imaging in clinical applications. The application of radiomics in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of benign and malignant tumors of biliary tract, assessment of lymph node status, early recurrence and prognosis assessment provides new means for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with biliary tract cancer.
