Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with that of gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using non-invasive diagnostic criteria (American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD or Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) v2018 and Korean Liver Cancer Study Group- National Cancer Center Korea (KLCSG-NCC) v2018).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Hepatic nodule group

This group meets eligibility criteria, and undergo contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and scheduled gadoxetic acid MRI (gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI; EOB-MRI; Gd-EOB-MRI)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

contrast-enhanced ultrasound

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

CEUS is performed using SonoVue (Bracco, Milan, Italy) intravenous administration in eligible participants within a month before/after EOB-MRI.

EOB-MRI

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

EOB-MRI is performed using standard dose of hepatocyte specific contrast media (primovist or eovist) according to standard protocol of our institution.
