PURPOSE: We prospectively compared gadoliniumenhanced magnetic resonance imaging (dynamic MRI), superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) (ferucarbotran) MRI and multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) and the combination of dynamic MRI plus MDCT vs. dynamic MRI plus SPIO-MRI (double-contrast MRI: DC-MRI) for the detection of small (1 cm and the highest specificity (83.3%) superior to dynamic MRI (p<0.0001). In the per-lesion analysis, SPIO-MRI demonstrated a positive predictive value higher than dynamic MRI (p=0.0059) and than both the combinations dynamic MRI/MDCT and DC-MRI (p=0.0021 and p=0.0087, respectively). DC-MRI showed the highest sensitivity (97.7%) and accuracy (78.9%), detecting hypovascular and atypical HCCs >1 cm. Furthermore its per-patient negative predictive value was the highest (100%), and significantly higher than all the other methods. CONCLUSIONS: DC-MRI is the most sensitive and accurate method and can be confidently used as a single-step procedure for the detection of small HCCs, with the exception of lesions <1 cm.
