Inter-reader agreement of CEUS LI-RADS among radiologists with different levels of experience

ConclusionCEUS LI-RADS showed good diagnostic consistency among radiologists with different levels of experience, and consistency increased with experience levels.Key Points• The inter-reader agreement for LI-RADS categories was moderate to substantial agreement (κ, 0.60–0.80).• When compared between residents and specialists, accuracy, sensitivity, and AUC showed significantly different (all p< 0.05). However, there were no significant differences for specificity, PPV, and NPV between these two groups.• Among the radiologists with more than 1 year of experience, there was no significant difference in the diagnostic performance of HCC, suggesting that CEUS LI-RADS is a good standardized categorization system for high-risk patients.
