Performance of CEUS LI-RADS v2017 major feature combinations: individual patient data meta-analysis
CEUS LI-RADS demonstrated progressively higher PPVs from LR-3 to LR-5, supporting its ability to stratify risk across HCC categories. Major feature combinations performed similarly within each category, indicating internal consistency of the system. Although only PPVs were assessed, the results align with trends seen in CT/MRI LI-RADS, with wider confidence intervals in CEUS reflecting smaller sample sizes.
