Abstract

PURPOSE: To investigate the mechanism of enhancement of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on gadoxetic acid-enhanced hepatobiliary phase magnetic resonance (MR) images and to characterize HCC thus enhanced. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study was approved by the institutional review board, ...
