Prediction of Microvascular Invasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Preoperative Gd-EOB-DTPA-Dynamic Enhanced MRI and Histopathological Correlation

<div>A 47-year-old man with pathologically proved MVI. The maximum diameter of the tumor in the right liver lobe was 143 mm, and the axial T2WI has shown heterogeneous signal. A patchy peritumor hyperintense region was shown in the mid-arterial phase and isointense one in the delayed phase. A not completely surrounded tumor capsule and focal outgrowth of nodules were shown in the delayed phase. A wedge-shaped hypointense area of liver parenchyma which located outside the tumor margin was seen in the coronal hepatobiliary phase image.</div>
