Résumé
Objectives This study compared the characteristics of lesions suspicious for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and their LI-RADS classifications in adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) and deep learning reconstruction (DLR) to those of MR images, along with radiologist confidence.
Materials and methods This prospective single-center trial included patients who underwent four-phase liver CT and multiphasic contrast-enhanced MRI within 7 days from February to August 2023. The lesion characteristics, LI-RADS classifications and confidence scores according to two radiologists on the ASIR, DLR and MRI techniques were compared. If the patient had at least one lesion, he was included in the HCC group, otherwise in the non-HCC group. MRI being the technique with the best sensitivity, concordance of lesions characteristics and LI-RADS classifications were calculated by weighted kappa between the ASIR and MRI and between the DLR and MRI. The confidence scores are expressed as the means and standard deviati
