Diagnostic criteria for NC-MRI and CE-MRI reading approaches

Method	Criterion	Suspicious	Not suspicous
NC-MRI	ADC	≤1.25 *10⁻³ mm²/s	>1.25 *10⁻³ mm²/s
	Internal structure	Heterogeneous	Homogeneous
	Margins	Not circumscribed	Circumscribed

CE-MRI	Enhancement curve type	Washout, Plateau	Persistent
	Shape (mass)	Irregular	Round, oval
	Margin (mass)	Not circumscribed	Circumscribed
	Internal enhancement (mass)	Heterogeneous, rim	Homogeneous, septations
	Distribution (non-mass)	Segmental, linear	Focal, regional, diffuse
	Internal enhancement (non-mass)	Not homogeneous	Homogeneous

NC-MRI: Non-contrast MRI (readout-segmented DWI), CE-MRI: Contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI plus T2w), ADC: Apparent Diffusion coefficient
