| Core Tip |
Recent technological development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners has been excellent. The higher field strength of the 3.0-tesla (T) MR scanner has been increasingly used because improved lesion detection can be expected as a result of the increased signal-to-noise ratio, which is theoretically twice with 3.0-T compared with 1.5-T. Another important improvement in MRI is the practical use of diffusion-weighted imaging. In this study, comparison of unenhanced MRI and ultrasound in detecting very small hepatocellular carcinoma (2 cm in maximum diameter) was investigated. The sensitivity for detecting very small hepatocellular carcinoma of unenhanced MRI was as high as 95.1% as compared with 69.6% of unenhanced ultrasound (P < 0.001). |
