Accuracy of Ultrasonography, Spiral CT, Magnetic Resonance, and Alpha-Fetoprotein in Diagnosing Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: US is highly specific but insufficiently sensitive to detect HCC in many cirrhotics or to support an effective surveillance program, whereas MRI is more sensitive.
Journal ArticleDOI

The diagnostic and economic impact of contrast imaging techniques in the diagnosis of small hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis

Journal ArticleDOI
