Imaging features based on Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI for predicting vessels encapsulating tumor clusters (VETC) in patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
CONCLUSIONS: Qualitative and quantitative imaging features of Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI integrating laboratory examination can provide good diagnostic performance.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: VETC is a novel identified microvascular pattern; associations between imaging features and VETC status have not been investigated. Preoperative diagnosis of VETC status in HCC is essential to help predict the outcome of patients and make a decision for the therapeutic schedule.
