All patients underwent MRI exam via 3.0-T Magnetom Trio Tim (Siemens Medical Solutions, Erlangen, Germany), Intera Achieva or Ingenia (Philips Medical Systems, Best, the Netherlands), or Discovery MR750w MRI unit (GE Medical Systems, Waukesha, Wis). Dynamic liver MRI was performed using 10mL of gadoxetate-disodium (Primovist; Bayer AG, Berlin, Germany) at an injection rate of 1mL/sec, followed by 20mL of 0.9% saline chaser at the same flow rate (Spectris Solaris MR Injection System; Medrad, Warrendale, PA) [20 (link)]. T1 weighted 3D gradient-echo hepatobiliary phase (HBP) was obtained 20 minutes after contrast agent injection. Other MRI sequences included in routine dynamic liver MRI are written in the S1 Text.
