To develop and externally validate a diagnostic scoring model combining Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI characteristics and biochemical indicators for the preoperative prediction of microvascular invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Retrospectively analyzed intratumoral and peritumoral Gd-EOB-DTPA MRI features alongside biochemical indicators in 129 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated between 2014 and 2020.
Developed a scoring model benchmarked against postoperative pathology and validated performance in an independent external cohort of 63 patients.
Identified five predictive parameters, establishing AGLR as an independent risk factor for microvascular invasion.
Demonstrated a diagnostic accuracy of 93.6%, sensitivity of 94.7%, specificity of 93.2%, positive predictive value of 85.7%, and negative predictive value of 97.6% using a score threshold greater than 8.
