Diagnostic Accuracy of Preoperative Gadoxetic Acid–enhanced 3-T MR Imaging for Malignant Liver Lesions by Using Ex Vivo MR Imaging–matched Pathologic Findings as the Reference Standard

Abstract

Gadoxetic acid-enhanced 3-T MR imaging provides high per-lesion sensitivity and PPV for preoperative malignant liver lesion detection overall, although sensitivity for 0.2-0.5-cm malignant lesions is poor.
