CT and MR Imaging Diagnosis and Staging of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Part II. Extracellular Agents Hepatobiliary Agents and Ancillary Imaging Features

摘要

Currently all clinical practice guidelines recommend multiphasic CT and MR imaging with extracellular agents for diagnosis and staging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); these modalities provide valuable information regarding vascularity and have excellent accuracy for diagnosis of large nodular HCCs, but they have limited sensitivity for early HCCs as well as for small and progressed HCCs.
