Overview

Prospective analysis shows improved malignant detection in liver tumors with Gd-EOB-MRI, indicating diagnostic benefits over CE-CT.

Key Points

  • Gd-EOB-MRI has significantly higher sensitivity for detecting malignant liver lesions compared to CE-CT.
  • Sensitivity was 90.3% for Gd-EOB-MRI and 68.3% for CE-CT, highlighting its diagnostic superiority.
  • The false-positive rates were low for both imaging modalities, suggesting reliable assessment of liver tumors.
  • Equivocal lesions are common; using alternative imaging methods and consulting multiple radiologists may improve diagnosis.
