Diffusion-weighted MRI of hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis
چکیده انگلیسی

The internationally accepted diagnostic criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis are highly accurate for large tumours, but offer relatively low sensitivity for small (<2 cm) tumours. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that has been studied extensively as an aid to visualize various abdominal malignancies, including HCC in cirrhosis. DWI maps water diffusivity, which in HCC may be restricted as a result of changes ensuing from hepatocarcinogenesis. The present review is based on up-to-date evidence and describes the strengths and weaknesses of DWI, both as a standalone technique and as an adjunct sequence to conventional protocols, in the diagnosis, staging, prognostication, and assessment of treatment response of HCC in cirrhosis.
