Description
Summary:To determine the relevant laboratory values for hepatobiliary phase (HBP) imaging and predictive factors for suboptimal HBP images on gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the evaluation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). This study included 307 patients with CLD who underwent gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI for HCC evaluation. The liver-portal vein contrast ratio and liver-spleen contrast ratio were calculated from the measurements of the HBP images. In this study, a suboptimal HBP image was defined as the presence of a bright portal vein or a liver-spleen contrast ratio of
