Conventional MRI methods are difficult to reveal histologic and molecular characteristic of HCC. In this study, we aimed to e explore the feasibility of amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) imaging for predicting microvascular invasion (MVI) of hepatocellular carcinoma. Significant difference in APTw values were observed for MVI positive and negative lesions. With these findings, APTw imaging can be considered a potential technique for noninvasive preoperational assessment of MVI in hepatocellular carcinoma.
