Core Tip

Core tip: This study demonstrated the added value of hepatobiliary phase gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma, based on the changes in contrast uptake on hepatobiliary phase images during hepatocarcinogenesis. The pitfalls of interpreting hepatobiliary phase MRI are important to recognize in obtaining the most accurate results.
