Hepatobiliary phase imaging in HCC: revisiting diagnostic algorithms and clinical utility of gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI across international guidelines
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. In at-risk populations, noninvasive imaging diagnosis relies primarily on the vascular hallmarks of arterial phase hyperenhancement and washout appearance. However, these features are often absent in early hepatocarcinogenesis,...
