[Abstract] Objective To explore the predictive effect of Gd-EOB-DTPA (Gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, Gd-EOB-DTPA) enhanced MRI for metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with diameter ≤1 cm. Materials andMethods Forty-five patients (median age 55 years old, male 71.1%) without intrahepatic metastasis, without tumor embolus in portal vein trunk and primary branch, with sufficient incisal margin and diameter of ≤1 cm were followed up for a median time of 13 months, and were divided into metastatic group (n=15) and non-metastatic group (n=30) according to whether HCC intrahepatic metastasis occurred. Clinical and imaging characteristics between two groups were compared and risk factors of HCC intrahepatic metastasis were determined by univariate Kaplan-Meier analysis and multivariate Cox regression.Results Compared with the non-metastatic group, HCC with intrahepatic metastasis in the early stage of Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI images was likely to show hypointensity on T1WI (9/60.0%, P=0.042), hyperintensity on DWI (12/80.0%, P<0.001), homogeneous enhancement in the arterial phase (10/66.7% P=0.017), hypointensity in transitional (12/80.0%, P=0.001) and hepatobiliary phase (9/60.0%, P=0.016); minimal signal >1/2 in hepatobiliary phase (14/93.3%,P<0.001). After adjusting for age, sex, differentiation grade, Edmondson grade in the multivariate Cox model, hypointensity in transitional phase (HR=6.19, 95% CI: 1.73—22.16, P=0.005) was independent risk factor for HCC intrahepatic metastasis.Conclusions Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI has advantages in predicting intrahepatic metastasis of HCC lesions with a diameter ≤1 cm. It can provide support for the formulation of therapeutic regimen as soon as possible.
