Diffusion Kurtosis MR Imaging versus Conventional Diffusion-Weighted Imaging for Distinguishing Hepatocellular Carcinoma from Benign Hepatic Nodules

Table 2

Comparison of gender and age distribution amongst HCC, FNH, and HCA groups.

	FNH	Hemangioma	HCA	HCC	value
Age, yrs, mean ± SD	37.0 ± 1.8	42.5 ± 2.5	41.0 ± 3.8	55.4 ± 1.2	<0.001
Gender					<0.001
Male	14 (50.0)	15 (65.2)	5 (83.3)	85 (90.4)
Female	14 (50.0)	8 (34.8)	1 (16.7)	9 (9.6)

Categorical variables are presented as n (%). HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; FNH, focal nodular hyperplasia; HCA, hepatocellular adenoma; SD, standard deviation.
