Added value of hepatobiliary phase gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma in high-risk patients

Figure 1 Magnetic resonance images from a 77-year-old woman with hepatitis B virus cirrhosis. A liver nodule at segment VII was surgically confirmed as hepatocellular carcinoma.
