Radiology considerations for the PREMIUM study: a multicenter randomized controlled trial of abbreviated MRI versus ultrasound for liver cancer screening in cirrhosis.
This paper describes the rationale and radiology considerations in the implementation of the Preventing Liver Cancer Mortality through Imaging with Ultrasound versus MRI (PREMIUM) study. PREMIUM aims to determine whether screening for HCC with a DCE aMRI protocol reduces HCC-related mortality and also facilitates ancillary studies utilizing the Image Repository.
