Abstract
Although main criteria like non-rim enhancement in the arterial phase, non-peripheral washout, enhancing envelope, lesion size, and threshold growth have definitions and interpretations in the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System, there are still some problems and pitfalls that clinicians and radiologists need to understand and avoid when assessing the main criteria based on gadoxetate disodium in clinical work-up. This article reviews the existing problems and current solutions in the assessment of the main criteria based on the hepatic contrast agent gadoxetate disodium.
