• AMRI plus multiphasic CT showed comparable accuracy (91.2%) and PPV (94.1%) to full-sequence gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI using LR-4/5 criteria. • AMRI plus multiphasic CT was significantly more sensitive than full-sequence gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI (96.4% vs. 92.9%) using LR-4/5 criteria. • Multiphasic CT is a potential sequential modality for HCC diagnosis after AMRI.
