Performance comparison of gadoxetic and extracellular MRI in diagnosing subcentimeter recurrent HCC after hepatectomy: a modified algorithm

Key Points

This research aims to compare the effectiveness of gadoxetic MRI and extracellular MRI in diagnosing recurrent HCC.
Utilized a modified algorithm based on EOB-MRI.
Compared sensitivity and specificity of gadoxetic MRI and extracellular MRI.
Focused on subcentimeter recurrent HCC post-hepatectomy.
Increased sensitivity for detecting subcentimeter HCC with the modified EOB-MRI algorithm.
Maintained high specificity compared to extracellular MRI.
Facilitated quicker diagnosis for salvage treatment opportunities.

Abstract

Early detection of subcentimeter recurrent HCC optimizes treatment windows. EOB-MRI-based modified algorithm improves sensitivity while maintaining high specificity. EOB-MRI-based modified algorithm expedites diagnosing subcentimeter recurrences, ultimately facilitating salvage treatment.
