Evaluation of Early-Stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Magnetic Resonance Imaging With Gadoxetic Acid Detects Additional Lesions and Increases Overall Survival

Abstract

Among patients who underwent dynamic CT analysis of a single-nodular HCC, additional evaluation by MR imaging with gadoxetic acid led to the detection of additional HCC nodules in 16% of patients, reduced the risk of disease recurrence, and decreased overall mortality.
