Agreement Among Expert Radiologists in Diagnosing Primary Liver Tumors by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Agreement Among Expert Radiologists in Diagnosing Primary Liver Tumors by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Non-Cirrhotic Patients - A Double Blind International Multicenter Study

The purpose of this multicenter study is to evaluate the agreement among expert radiologists in interpreting magnetic resonance images (MRI) assessing common primary liver tumours in non-cirrhotic patients.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is currently the method of choice for non-invasive diagnosis of primary liver tumors. However, differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from adenoma and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) remains challenging, particularly in non-cirrhotic patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Histopathological diagnosis of Hepatocellular Cancer (HCC), Adenoma and/or Focular nodular hyperplasia (FNH).
• Patients that received a pre-operative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
• Patients that underwent liver resection with an intention to cure.
• Patient over 18 years of age

Exclusion Criteria:

• Other histopathological diagnosis such as cysts and hemangiomas.
• Patient age less than 18 years of age.
