Figure 1 Overall and recurrence-free survival of patients who were evaluated with CT alone or with CT and gadoxetic acid–enhanced MR imaging. (A) Overall and (B) recurrence-free survival, respectively. Patients in the CT group underwent imaging work-ups with dynamic CT only, whereas patients in the CT+MR group were evaluated with both dynamic CT and gadoxetic acid–enhanced MR imaging. Only patients who received curative-intent treatments (ie, surgical resection, radiofrequency ablation, and liver transplantation according to their final BCLC stage), were accounted for in the recurrence-free survival.

Figure 3 Overall and recurrence-free survival of patients in the CT, the CT+MR (gadoxetic acid), and the CT+MR (nongadoxetic acid) groups. (A) Overall and (B) recurrence-free survival, respectively. Only patients who received curative-intent treatments according to their final BCLC stage were accounted for in the recurrence-free survival.
