Popis: To compare the performance of the quantitative analysis of the hepatobiliary phase (HBP) tumor enhancement in gadobenate dimeglumine (Gd-BOPTA)–enhanced MRI and of dual-tracer 18F-FDG and 18F-fluorocholine (FCH) PET/CT for the prediction of tumor aggressiveness and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This retrospective, IRB approved study included 32 patients with 35 surgically proven HCCs. All patients underwent Gd-BOPTA-enhanced MRI including delayed HBP images, 18F-FDG PET/CT, and (for 29/32 patients) 18F-FCH PET/CT during the 2 months prior to surgery. For each lesion, the lesion-to-liver contrast enhancement ratio (LLCER) on MRI HBP images and the SUVmax tumor-to-liver ratio (SUVT/L) for both tracers were calculated. Their predictive value for aggressive pathological features—including the histological grade and microvascular invasion (MVI)—and RFS were analyzed and compared using area under receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curves and Cox regression models, respectively. The AUROCs for the identification of aggressive HCCs on pathology with LLCER, 18F-FDG SUVT/L, and 18F-FCH SUVT/L were 0.92 (95% CI 0.78, 0.98), 0.89 (95% CI 0.74, 0.97; p = 0.70), and 0.64 (95% CI 0.45, 0.80; p = 0.035). At multivariate Cox regression analysis, LLCER was identified as an independent predictor of RFS (HR (95% CI) = 0.91 (0.84, 0.99), p = 0.022). LLCER − 4.72% or less also accurately predicted moderate-poor differentiation grade (Se = 100%, Sp = 92.9%) and MVI (Se = 93.3%, Sp = 60%) and identified patients with poor RFS after surgical resection (p = 0.030). HBP tumor enhancement after Gd-BOPTA injection may help identify aggressive HCC pathological features, and patients with reduced recurrence-free survival after surgical resection. • In patients with resectable HCC, the quantitative analysis of the HBP tumor enhancement in Gd-BOPTA-enhanced MRI (LLCER) accurately identifies moderately-poorly differentiated and/or MVI-positive HCCs. • After surgical resection for HCC, patients with LLCER − 4.72% or less had significantly poorer recurrence-free survival than patients with LLCER superior to − 4.72%. • Gd-BOPTA-enhanced MRI with delayed HBP images may be suggested as part of pre-surgery workup in patients with resectable HCC.
