Thus, this study aimed to analyse the radiological characteristics of XGC and GBC to establish a diagnostic prediction model for differential diagnosis and clinical decision-making.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We\u00a0investigated radiological characteristics confirmed by the RandomForest and Logistic regression to establish computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CT\/MRI models and diagnostic prediction model, and performed receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis to prove the effectiveness of the diagnostic prediction model.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Based on the optimal features confirmed by the RandomForest method, the mean area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC of the CT and MRI models was 0.817 (mean accuracy = 0.837) and 0.839 (mean accuracy = 0.842), respectively, whereas the CT\/MRI model had a considerable predictive performance with the mean AUC of 0.897 (mean accuracy = 0.906). The diagnostic prediction model established for the convenience of clinical application was similar to the CT\/MRI model with the mean AUC and accuracy of 0.888 and 0.898, respectively, indicating a
