We investigated the viscoelastic signatures of proliferative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), and find that adding MRE properties (tumor c and tumor φ) can improve performance of conventional MRI for preoperative diagnosis of proliferative HCC.
