Differentiation of Small Hepatocellular Carcinoma From Dysplastic Nodules in Cirrhotic Liver: Texture Analysis Based on MRI Improved Performance in Comparison Over Gadoxetic Acid-Enhanced MR and Diffusion-Weighted Imaging

Differentiation of Small Hepatocellular Carcinoma From Dysplastic Nodules in Cirrhotic Liver: Texture Analysis Based on MRI Improved Performance in Comparison Over Gadoxetic Acid-Enhanced MR and Diffusion-Weighted Imaging

Background: Accurate characterization of small (3 cm) hepatocellular carcinoma (sHCC) and dysplastic nodules (DNs) in cirrhotic liver is challenging. We aimed to investigate whether texture analysis (TA) based on T2-weighted images (T2WI) is superior to qualitative diagnosis using gadoxetic acid-enh...
