Systematic Training of Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System Magnetic Resonance Imaging v2018 can Improve the Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma for Different Radiologists.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Liver imaging reporting and data system (LI-RADS) provides standardized lexicon and categorization for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is limited knowledge about the effect of LI-RADS training. We prospectively explored whether the systematic training of LI-RADS v2018 on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can effectively improve the diagnostic performances of different radiologists for HCC.

Methods

A total of 20 visiting radiologists and the multiparametric MRI of 70 hepatic observations in 61 patients with high risk of HCC were included in this study. The LI-RADS v2018 training procedure included three times of thematic lectures (each lasting for 2.5 h) given by a professor specialized in imaging diagnosis of liver, with an interv
