Differentiating peripheral cholangiocarcinoma in stages T1N0M0 and T2N0M0 from hepatic hypovascular nodules using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI

Abstract Because cholangiocarcinoma shows no specific clinical signs or symptoms and presents with non-specific biological and tumor markers in the early stages, MRI findings often lack typical features before this lesion becomes symptomatic and might be mistaken for other liver lesions. An evaluati...
