The Value of Gadobenate Dimeglumine-Enhanced Delayed Phase MR Imaging for Characterization of Hepatocellular Nodules in the Cirrhotic Liver

Abstract

Delayed gadobenate dimeglumine-enhanced MR imaging allows improved characterization of HCC in cirrhotic liver. The relative hypointensity to adjacent normal liver parenchyma is a reliable predictor that this lesion favors HCC rather than DN in cirrhotic liver.
