NC-AMRI Achieves Adequate Visualization and Detects Early-Stage HCC in Cirrhotics with US VIS-C

Noncontrast abbreviated MRI after US visualization score C in cirrhosis: DWI adequate in 91.7%, T2WI in 95.1%; 94.4% (17/18) of detected HCCs were early-stage — retrospective study.

• NC-AMRI visualization quality was acceptable (VIS-A or B) in 91.7% on DWI and 95.1% on T2WI in cirrhotic patients with US VIS-C.
• Among 18 HCCs detected, 17 (94.4%) were early-stage HCC.
• Limitation: Retrospective, single-center design; confirmation in larger prospective multicenter cohorts is needed per the authors.
