| Core Tip |
This manuscript features a way of efficient prediction of fate for non-hypervascular hepatic nodules, which appear to be frequently detected after the introduction of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylene-triamine-pentaacetic-acid in a magnetic resonance imaging study. A statistical analysis based on the interpretation of magnetic resonance imaging and regular clinicopathological factors lead to the development of a formula with an accuracy of 87.7% and 87.3% in the formulation and validation samples. Furthermore, the authors have developed a convenient application to evaluate the fate of non-hypervascular hepatic nodules through internet (http://www.med.niigata-u.ac.jp/in3/resident/NHN.html), which requires inputting only five factors. |
