Synopsis

In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, high Ki-67 was closely related with tumor size, vein invasion, histological grade and the metastasis. This worked aimed at investigating the value of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and enhanced T2star weighted angiography(ESWAN) for predicting tumor Ki-67 status in HCC. The results showed that Standard ADC, DDC, R2*, T2* and combine had promising performances in predicting Ki-67 status. This research suggested that the IVIM and ESWAN held great potential in predicting the Ki-67 status of HCC, which is valuable for noninvasively, preoperatively and accurately predicting the prognostic factors during clinical practice.
