Summary: This study aimed to develop and evaluate a modified LI-RADS version 2018 for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) < 1.0 cm. Significant ancillary features associated with HCC < 1.0 cm were determined and applied to the modified LI-RADS. The sensitivity of our modified LI-RADS using restricted diffusion was significantly higher than LI-RADS v2018, with similar specificity.

Summary: This study investigated the imaging findings of macrotrabecular-massive hepatocellular carcinoma (MTM-HCC) on CT and MRI. The results showed that MTM-HCC was associated with certain imaging characteristics on CT and MRI, such as arterial phase hypovascular component and non-smooth tumor margin. The MRI diagnostic criteria for MTM-HCC were applicable on CT, showing similar diagnostic performance and prognostic significance.

Summary: The presence of microvascular invasion (MVI) and three or more HCCs were identified as predictors of poorer outcomes in patients with multicentric HCCs undergoing surgical resection. MVI was the only statistically significant predictor of overall survival (OS). However, imaging parameters on gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI, such as APHE or LI-RADS category, did not show any association with postsurgical outcomes.

Summary: This study investigated the role of preoperative gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI in stratifying the risk of early recurrence in LR-5 hepatocellular carcinoma patients after curative resection. Corona enhancement, peritumoral hypointensity on HBP, and satellite nodule were identified as significant MRI predictors for early recurrence. These findings can help stratify the risk of early recurrence in at-risk LR-5 HCC patients.

Summary: Clinical evidence indicates that the response to immune checkpoint blockade is influenced by the immune status in the tumor microenvironment. This study demonstrates that MRI texture analysis can predict the immunophenotyping (IP) and overall survival (OS) of ICC patients. Inflamed immunophenotyping is associated with better prognosis and higher survival rates compared to non-inflamed immunophenotyping in ICC patients.
