Using low tube voltage (80Â kVp) quadruple phase liver CT for the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma: Two-year experience and comparison with Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced liver MRI

Quadruple-phase low-dose liver CT (80 kVp, 280 mAs) had relatively good diagnostic performance for detecting HCC in non-obese patients. Because no significant difference was observed between low-dose CT and MRI, the use of low-dose liver CT can be justified based on its reduced radiation effects.
