N2 - The purpose of this study is to elucidate the usefulness of dynamic MR study of the whole liver using 3DFISP with double dose gadolinium (Gd) enhancement in detecting enhancing lesions in 20 patients. Twenty patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) underwent 3DFISP dynamic study with double dose Gd. The demonstration of enhancing hypervascular lesions regardless of etiology was evaluated on a segment-by-segment basis with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, using findings on CT during hepatic arteriography as a gold standard. Diagnostic accuracy of 3DFISP in the detection of HCC was also evaluated. As to the demonstration of enhancing lesions, the Az value of the ROC curve was 88%. The detection rate of HCC with 3DFISP was 98%. 57% of enhancing pseudolesions were not detected on 3DFISP. We concluded that Dynamic MR study of the whole liver using 3DFISP with double dose Gd enhancement is a useful method to demonstrate hypervascular HCC. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2001;13:258-262.
