• Enhancing capsule has a limited role in the LI-RADS categorisation during gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI. • Appearance of corona enhancement is closely related to enhancing capsule and is not dependent on size of HCCs. • Corona enhancement can substitute enhancing capsule in the diagnosis of HCCs during multiple arterial and portal venous phase gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI.
