Abstract
Correct identification of small hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and benign nodules in cirrhosis remains challenging, quantitative apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) have shown potential value in characterization of benign and malignant liver lesions. We aimed to explore the added value of ADCs in the identification of small (≤3 cm) HCCs and benign nodules categorized as Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) 3 (LR-3) and 4 (LR-4) in cirrhosis.Keywords
