Critical analysis of major and ancillary features of LI-RADS v2018 in the differentiation of small ( ≤ 2 cm) hepatocellular carcinoma from dysplastic nodules with gadobenate dimeglumine-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.
CONCLUSIONS: The added value of ancillary features in combination with major features is limited for the non-invasive diagnosis of small HCC; however, their use modifies the final category in a substantial proportion of observations from LR-3 to LR-4, thus allowing possible changes in the management of patients at risk for HCC.
