  1. MVI Microvascular invasion, SD Standard deviations, CI Confidence intervals, ICC Interclass correlation coefficient, ADC Apparent diffusion coefficient
  2. a The ICC was not calculated because reduction rate of T1 relaxation was based on the mean values of precontrast and postcontrast T1 relaxation time of the two readers
