Abstract:
Microvascular invasion (MVI) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an important factor influencing postoperative recurrence and prognosis of patients. At present, the diagnosis of MVI mainly relies on postoperative histopathological examination, which is difficult to meet the need of preoperative determination of whether MVI occurs. With the development of imaging technology, multimodality MRI techniques, such as DWI, diffusion kurtosis imaging, intravoxel incoherent motion, enhancement MRI and MR radiomics analysis have been applied for diagnosis of MVI. The application progresses of the above multimodality MRI for diagnosis of MVI in preoperative HCC were reviewed in this article.
