Keywords: Liver, Tumor, Hepatocellular carcinoma
Motivation: Our report targets precise timing in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis via MRI. Timely recognition of the late hepatic arterial phase is crucial to avoid unnecessary invasive biopsies and minimize patient risks.
Goal(s): Our report evaluates the TWIST technique's effectiveness in HCC diagnosis, aiming to reduce the need for percutaneous biopsies.
Approach: We integrated TWIST into our liver MRI protocols, capturing images at preset intervals, enhancing temporal resolution for HCC diagnosis.
Results: Our report successfully employs the TWIST technique to diagnose HCC by capturing arterial hyperenhancement. This innovation improves diagnostic accuracy and diminishes the necessity for invasive procedures, benefiting patients.
Impact: The implementation of the TWIST technique promises safer and more accurate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis. This technique minimizes invasive biopsies, reshaping clinical practice and offering a new perspective on non-invasive diagnostic techniques.
