Between January 2018 and December 2020, there were 32 consecutive surgically resected HCC patients, all of whom had undergone 4-phase preoperative CT. Among these, HCC with the largest diameter less than 6 cm were selected to minimize the chance of intratumoral degeneration or necrosis, for adequate ECV measurement. Obtaining informed consent for this study was waived by our institutional review board due to its retrospective nature.
