Triple Arterial Phase Dynamic MRI with Sensitivity Encoding for Hypervascular Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Comparison of the Diagnostic Accuracy Among the Early, Middle, Late, and Whole Triple Arterial Phase Imaging

Abstract

The middle arterial phase imaging with k-space centered at 12.6 sec after the peak aortic enhancement was optimal for detecting HCC and showed diagnostic accuracy equivalent to that of the whole triple arterial phase imaging.
