Abstract

BACKGROUND: Accurate detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in multiphasic contrast CT is essential for effective treatment and surgical planning. However, the variety of CT images, the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, and the inconsistent diagnosis among different radiologists pose challenges to accurate detection which demands sufficient clinical experience and can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
