Peritumoral Imaging Manifestations on Gd-EOB-DTPA-Enhanced MRI for Preoperative Prediction of Microvascular Invasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim was to investigate the association between microvascular invasion (MVI) and the peritumoral imaging features of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl DTPA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods

Up until Feb 24, 2022, the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were carefully searched for relevant material. The software packages utilized for this meta-analysis were Review Manager 5.4.1, Meta-DiSc 1.4, and Stata16.0. Summary results are presented as sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), diagnostic odds ratios (DORs), area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), and 95% confidence interval (CI). The sources of heterogeneity were investigated using subgroup analysis.
