Prognostic value of baseline volumetric multiparametric MR imaging in neuroendocrine liver metastases treated with transarterial chemoembolization

ConclusionVolumetric enhancement values and tumor volume of the dominant lesion on baseline MR imaging may act as prognostic factors for OS and HPFS in NELMs patients treated with TACE.Key Points•High volumetric mean AE and VE, and low tumor volume of the dominant lesion on baseline MR imaging were associated with favorable OS and HPFS in NELMs patients treated with TACE.•Evaluation of multiple lesions does not provide additional information as compared to single lesion evaluation.
