Diagnostic Performance of Gadoxetic Acid–enhanced Liver MR Imaging in the Detection of HCCs and Allocation of Transplant Recipients on the Basis of the Milan Criteria and UNOS Guidelines: Correlation with Histopathologic Findings

Addition of HBP hepatobiliary phase images can significantly improve the diagnostic performance of gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MR imaging in the detection of 1-2-cm HCC hepatocellular carcinoma s in liver transplantation candidates. In addition, gadoxetic acid-enhanced MR imaging showed 92.1% accuracy in patient allocation on the basis of the Milan criteria and UNOS United Network for Organ Sharing guidelines.
