Numbers are raw data. P values were CEUS Score vs CEUS LI-RADS. CEUS: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound; LI-RADS: Liver imaging reporting and data system; ICC: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma; HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; PPV: Positive predictive value; NPV: Negative predictive value; AUC: Area under the ROC curve.
