- Abstract
Noninvasive criteria for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis, recommended by the European Association for the Study of Liver (EASL) in 2001 and by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) in 2005, have left a number of small liver neoplastic nodules undefined. We designed this prospective study in 2003 with the aims of assessing the diagnostic contribution of vascular contrast-enhanced techniques and investigating the possible additional contribution of superparamagnetic iron oxide magnetic resonance (SPIO-MR) in this setting.
