Abstract

PURPOSE: Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) uses multiphasic contrast-enhanced imaging for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis. The goal of this feasibility study was to establish a proof-of-principle concept towards automating the application of LI-RADS, using a deep learning algorithm trained to segment the liver and delineate HCCs on MRI automatically.
