(A) vs. (B) (A) vs. (C)
Arterial phase
All FLLs (n = 62) 0.594 (0.468, 0.721) 0.825 (0.713, 0.936) 0.742 (0.574, 0.911) 0.006 0.163
< 20 mm (n = 50) 0.574 (0.438, 0.711) 0.735 (0.569, 0.901) 0.632 (0.506, 0.758) 0.059 0.524
Portal venous phase
All FLLs (n = 62) 0.606 (0.476, 0.735) 0.800 (0.675, 0.925) 0.747 (0.563, 0.931) 0.033 0.216
< 20 mm (n = 50) 0.577 (0.452, 0.702) 0.698 (0.596, 0.800) 0.620 (0.491, 0.749) 0.086 0.624

Note: CI = confidence interval, FLLs = focal liver lesions, RPP = renal protection protocol. Figure of merit was not calculated for FLLs ≥ 20 mm due to the small number of FLLs (n = 12). P-value < 0.017 indicated a significant difference
