Brief Title: Agreement Among Expert Radiologists in Diagnosing Primary Liver Tumors by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Official Title: Agreement Among Expert Radiologists in Diagnosing Primary Liver Tumors by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Non-Cirrhotic Patients - A Double Blind International Multicenter Study
Study ID: NCT01234701
Brief Summary: The purpose of this multicenter study is to evaluate the agreement among expert radiologists in interpreting magnetic resonance images (MRI) assessing common primary liver tumours in non-cirrhotic patients.
Detailed Description: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is currently the method of choice for non-invasive diagnosis of primary liver tumors. However, differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from adenoma and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) remains challenging, particularly in non-cirrhotic patients.
