Prospective Intraindividual Comparison of Magnetic Resonance Imaging With Gadoxetic Acid and Extracellular Contrast for Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinomas Using the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System

Conclusion: ECA ‐MRI showed better sensitivity and accuracy than HBA‐MRI for the diagnosis of HCC with LI‐RADS. We achieved better diagnostic performance when applying a modified washout on PVP/TP HBA‐MRI and an illusional washout on ECA‐MRI than we did with conventional criteria.
