This study presented an algorithm for small hepatocellular carcinoma (sHCC) detection and segmentation in cirrhotic liver based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) images. The model included two-steps: screening of suspicious lesions in DWI using pattern matching algorithm; identification and segmentation of true lesions in DCE based on deep learning. The proposed model exhibited superior performance in sHCC (≤2 cm) detection and segmentation, which significantly outperformed the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) based diagnosis.
