• APASL and KLCA-NCC provided significantly the highest sensitivity and accuracy, followed by AASLD/LI-RADS and EASL in an endemic area for hepatitis B. • OPTN/UNOS showed the highest specificity, followed by AASLD/LI-RADS, EASL, KLCA-NCC, and APASL guidelines, with significant difference only with APASL. • Broadened definition of arterial hyperenhancement, washout, and the size of the lesion eligible to apply diagnostic criteria may improve the diagnostic performance for HCC in an endemic area for hepatitis B.
