The CT/MRI Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) Treatment Response Assessment (TRA) algorithm provides guidance for step-by-step tumor assessment after LRT and standardized reporting. Current evidence suggests that the algorithm performs well in the assessment of tumor response to arterial embolic and loco-ablative therapies and fair when assessing response to radiation-based therapies, with limited data to validate the latter. Both evidence-based and expert-based refinements of the algorithm are needed to improve its diagnostic accuracy after varying types of LRT.

Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of 5-T myocardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) MRI in assessing myocardial fibrosis by comparing image quality and LGE quantification with reference-standard 3-T myocardial LGE MRI. Materials and Methods Consecutive patients with confirmed myocardial fibrosis on previous 3-T MRI scans between January 2023 and July 2023 prospectively underwent follow-up imaging from August 2023 to November 2023. Each participant underwent follow-up 5-T imaging using an identical dose of contrast agent. Radiologist scoring of image quality using a Likert scale (range, 1-5), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), contrast ratio, and semiautomatic quantitative LGE assessment were obtained and reported as medians and IQRs. Paired Wilcoxon signed rank tests were used to compare characteristics derived at 3-T and 5-T imaging. Results A total of 18 participants (mean age, 49 years ± 17 [SD]; nine male participants) were included, with a mean interval of 6.2 months ± 2.3 between undergoing 3-T and 5-T MRI. Median image quality scores were 4.0 (IQR, 3.0-4.2) at 3 T and 4.0 (IQR, 3.0-4.4) at 5 T (<i>P</i> = .45). SNR at 5 T was higher than at 3 T (183.7 [IQR, 147.2-255.9] vs 125.8 [IQR, 108.2-171.6], respectively; <i>P</i> = .002). Median CNR at 5 T was higher than at 3 T in normal myocardium (50.8 [IQR, 35.4-67.9] vs 16.5 [IQR, 11.3-24.6], respectively) and pericardial fat (21.4 [IQR, 7.1-29.3] vs -5.0 [IQR, -16.4 to -2.3], respectively) (both <i>P</i> < .001). There was no evidence of a difference in the percentage of LGE quantified between 5 T and 3 T (median, 11.8% [IQR, 7.7%-20.5%] vs 12.6% [IQR, 6.6%-20.4%], respectively; <i>P</i> = .81). Conclusion Myocardial LGE MRI at 5 T was found to be feasible, with no evidence of differences in subjective image quality and myocardial fibrosis quantification compared with 3-T myocardial LGE MRI. Furthermore, with use of identical contrast agent doses, SNRs and CNRs were improved at 5 T.
