Detection of small hypervascular hepatocellular carcinomas by EASL criteria: comparison with double-phase CT during hepatic arteriography.

Abstract

The detectability of small hypervascular HCC on dynamic CT and dynamic MRI was almost the same and significantly lower as compared to that of CTHA. When comparing differences in the results of HCC treatment, differences in the diagnostic criteria applied should always be kept in mind.
