Recurrence-free survival (RFS) outcome. (a) The Kaplan–Meier analysis shows that the patients with μdiff values > 2.325 kPa have lower RFS rates than patients with μdiff values ≤ 2.325 kPa; (b) Patients with corona enhancement HCC lesions have lower RFS rates than patients without corona enhancement HCC lesions. (c) Patients with MVI-positive HCC lesions have lower RFS rates than patients without MVI. (c) Patients with high histologic tumor grade have lower RFS rates than patients with low histologic tumor grade
RFS: recurrence-free survival; ADC: apparent diffusion coefficient; μdiff: DWI-based virtual shear modulus; HCC: hepatocellular carcinoma; MVI: microvascular invasion
