1.5 cm in Diameter) Young Kon Kim, MD, PhD, Min Woo Lee, MD, PhD, Won Jae Lee, MD, PhD, Seong Hyun Kim, MD, PhD, Hyunchul Rhim, MD, PhD, Jae Hoon Lim, MD, PhD, Dongil Choi, MD, PhD, Young-sun Kim, MD, PhD, Kyung Mi Jang, MD, PhD, Soon Jin Lee, MD, PhD, and Hyo Keun Lim, MD, PhD ing conventional gadolinium chelates or superparamagnetic iron Purpose: To compare the diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity of combined oxide, as well as comparable efficacy to double-contrast MRI for the gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion- 4–9 detection of hepatocellular carcinoma. The most promising abil- weighted imaging (DWI) with each imaging approach alone for detecting ity of this liver-specific agent is to detect small liver malignancies on small hepatic metastases (
1.5 cm). 7–9 the HBP, particularly liver metastases. Nevertheless, the most Materials and Methods: Institutional review board approved this retrospec- clinically relevant problem when using gadoxetic acid for metastasis tive study and waived informed patient consent. Eighty-six patients with 179 workup might be the detection of
