As far as I know, 11C-choline PET will have a a better detection rate for moderately differentiated HCC lesions but not for those poorly differentiated. The mean 11C-choline SUV and T/L ratio in moderately differentiated HCC lesions were higher than those in poorly differentiated HCC lesions
Presently, liver biopsy remains the reference standard for the diagnosis and grading of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Development of a noninvasive method of assessment for liver fibrosis is desirable, given the morbidity and potential mortality associated with liver biopsy.Although much research has been done with regard to the potential roles of diffusion-weighted MR imaging and MR spectroscopy in the assessment of fatty liver disease, quantifying fibrosis has not been possible.
