Integrated Dedicated Liver 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Correlations of Positron Emission Tomography with Diffusion-Weighted Imaging and Morphological Findings

Purpose: This study evaluated the correlations between findings from 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET), contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions, and differences in imaging features between the infiltrative and noninfiltrative morphological subtypes of HCC were investigated.
