Abstract:PurposeTo evaluate the prognostic impact of dynamic gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd‐EOB‐DTPA)‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the data of 206 patients with HCC who underwent preoperative Gd‐EOB‐DTPA‐enhanced MRI and hepatectomy and quantitatively evaluated the signal intensity ratio of the tumor to the surrounding liver tissue in the portal phase (SIRPP). We verified the survival rates an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
