Hwang JA, et al. – The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between non–hypervascular hypointense nodules (NHHNs) on gadoxetic acid–enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and liver stiffness (LS) in patients with chronic liver disease, and analyzed their progression to overt hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Researchers exhibited evidence that the presence of non–hypervascular hypointense nodules on gadoxetic acid–enhanced MRI was associated with higher LS and hepatitis B virus infection. Moreover, these lesions frequently progressed to overt hepatocellular carcinoma.
