Data are percentages with the number of lesions in parentheses. Numbers in brackets are the 95% confidence intervals. *Threshold growth was considered as an ancillary feature, p value after comparing sensitivity to sensitivity of original LR-5 using McNemar's test, p value after comparing specificity to specificity of original LR-5 using McNemar's test. HCC = hepatocellular carcinoma, LI-RADS = Liver Imaging Reporting and Data Systems, NPV = negative predictive value, PPV = positive predictive value
