Impact of the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System on Research Studies of Diagnosing Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using MRI.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Since its introduction in 2011, the CT/MRI diagnostic Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) has been updated in 2014, 2017, and 2018. We evaluated the impact of CT/MRI diagnostic LI-RADS on liver MRI research methodology for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Materials and methods

The MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched for original articles reporting the diagnostic performance of liver MRI for HCC between 2011 and 2019. The MRI techniques, image analysis methods, and diagnostic criteria for HCC used in each study were investigated. The studies were classified into three groups according to the year of publication (2011-2013, 2014-2016, and 2017-2019). We compared the percentage of studies adopting MRI techniques recommen
