Texture analysis can characterize spatial variations of gray levels on an image. Our results showed texture analysis has a potential to improve MR ability in diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Optimal imaging techniques might be different from ones for visual assessment. Capsule, hemorrhage, and cellularity in HCC are possible influential factors.
