The LR-5 with ECA-MRI yielded the highest sensitivity with a similar specificity for HCC diagnosis in cirrhosis and non-cirrhotic CHB participants, while the sensitivities of LR-5 and EASL with ECA-MRI are similar for cirrhosis participants. This indicates non-invasive diagnosis criteria can differ by contrast agents and presence of cirrhosis.
