Predictors of changes in preoperative tumor stage between dynamic computed tomography and gadoxetate disodium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging for hepatocellular carcinoma

Gadoxetate disodium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (EOB-MRI) has a higher diagnostic accuracy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) than computed tomography (CT). However, indications for performing EOB-MRI after dynamic CT are not well defined. Therefore, we investigated the clinical factors associated with changes in the preoperative tumor stage between dynamic CT and EOB-MRI.
