![]() Fat fraction measured by CSI (FF CSI) was determined for HCC and liver on dual-echo sequence using 1.5- or 3-Tesla MR systems. Fat volume fraction (FVF DECT) maps were generated by MMD algorithm to quantify HCC and liver fat. ![]() In this retrospective study, 40 consecutive patients with HCC underwent non-contrast-enhanced (non-CE) and four-phases contrast-enhanced (four-CE) DECT (80 and 140 kVp) and abdominal MR imaging (including CSI) between April 2011 and December 2012. We sought to quantify HCC and liver fat with a multimaterial decomposition (MMD) algorithm with rapid kilovoltage-switching dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) relative to chemical-shift magnetic resonance imaging (CSI). ![]() Understanding intratumoral fat in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is clinically important to elucidate prognosis.
