    Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the leading primary liver malignancy and a major cause of cancer-related mortality globally.

  • 2

    Gadoxetate disodium is crucial for enhancing liver imaging, improving detection of HCC and borderline lesions in hepatobiliary MRI.

  • 3

    Patients with cirrhosis often show poor liver-to-spleen contrast, necessitating careful consideration of gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI.

  • 4

    This study investigates the effectiveness of super delayed phase imaging to improve liver contrast in patients with chronic liver disease.

  • 5

    Extended imaging beyond 20 minutes may enhance nodule visibility, particularly in cases with previously inadequate liver contrast.
