Modality Diagnostic sensitivity
All nodules (n = 34)
Moderately-differentiated HCC (n = 24)
n (%) 95% CI n (%) 95% CI
Contrast-enhanced computed tomography 18 (52.9) 35.1-70.2 15 (62.5) 40.6-81.2
Sonazoid contrast-enhanced ultrasonography 23 (67.6) 49.5-82.6 19 (79.2) 57.8-92.9
Gd-EOB-DTPA magnetic resonance imaging 26 (76.5) 58.8-89.3 18 (75.04) 53.3-90.2
Computed tomography arterioportal angiography 30 (88.2) 72.5-96.7 23 (95.8) 78.9-99.9

Gd-EOB-DTPA: Gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid; HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma.
