Secondary MRI to a multiphase ceCT scan suspicious of HCC is highly valuable in ruling out HCC in non-cirrhotic patients and in diagnosing HCC non-invasively in cirrhotic patients and patients with prior HCC. Patients with cirrhosis or prior HCC are still at high risk of having HCC if MRI results are inconclusive or negative.
