文摘

The study aimed to explore the use of MRI in predicting the microvascular invasion (MVI) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Materials and methodsThe preoperative MRI and tissues of resected HCC patients were collected. The imaging characteristics that have previously been suggested and the mismatch between diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and T2-weighted imaging of regions, which the authors called DWI/T2 mismatch, were analyzed and compared with histopathological references.ResultsA multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that DWI/T2 mismatch was an independent predictor of MVI.ConclusionThe DWI/T2 mismatch can be a preoperative predictor of MVI for HCC.
