Inter-reader agreement for CT/MRI LI-RADS category M imaging features: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds/aims

To systematically evaluate inter-reader agreement in the assessment of individual liver imaging reporting and data system (LI-RADS) category M (LR-M) imaging features in computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (CT/MRI) LIRADS v2018, and to explore the causes of poor agreement in LR-M assignment.

Methods

Original studies reporting inter-reader agreement for LR-M features on multiphasic CT or MRI were identified using the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases. The pooled kappa coefficient (κ) was calculated using the DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran's Q test and I2 statistics. Subgroup meta-regression analyses were conducted to explore the study heterogeneity.

Results

In total, 24 eligible studies
