Synopsis

Early detection and diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is essential for patients’ prognosis, however, the imaging hallmarks for tumor detection and diagnosis has remained same for years despite the use of many new imaging methods. Thus, in this study, we aimed to prospectively evaluated the detection performance of various MR sequences and abbreviated MRI (aMRI) protocols in different clinical settings and further compared the different imaging criteria for the diagnosis of HCC using either extracellular contrast agent (ECA) or hepatobiliary specific contrast (HBSC) MR imaging, and the developed diagnostic criteria for detection and diagnosis of HCC may aid clinical diagnosis.
