A preoperative model based on gadobenate-enhanced MRI for predicting microvascular invasion in hepatocellular carcinomas (≤ 5 cm).

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The present study aimed to develop and validate a preoperative model based on gadobenate-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting microvascular invasion (MVI) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) size of ≤5 cm. In order to provide preoperative guidance for clinicians to optimize treatment options.

Methods

164 patients with pathologically confirmed HCC and preoperative gadobenate-enhanced MRI from July 2016 to December 2020 were retrospectively included. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression (forward LR) analyses were used to determine the predictors of MVI and the model was established. Four-fold cross validation was used to verify the model, which was visualized by nomograms. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated
