LI-RADS shows low NPV in per-patient liver tumor assessment
Per-patient grouping for liver tumor status based on LI-RADS and treatment response shows low negative predictive value (NPV) in detecting residual or untreated tumors, according to research published December 19 in Radiology. A team led by Omar Hassan, MD, from the University of California, San Francisco studied hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who underwent local-regional therapy followed by liver transplant. The team found that per-patient stratification of tumor status at either pretransplant CT or MRI based on the LI-RADS version 2018 treatment response algorithm showed low NPV in this area. “The relativel...
