Australian Consensus Statements for the Assessment and Management of Non-radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis.

Background: The understanding of non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) has accelerated over the last decade, producing a number of practice-changing developments. Diagnosis is challenging. No diagnostic criteria exist, no single finding is diagnostic, and other causes of back pain may act as confounders.

Retrospective audit to determine the diagnostic accuracy of Primovist-enhanced MRI in the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis with explant histopathology correlation.

Introduction: This study aims to determine the diagnostic accuracy of Primovist-enhanced MRI in the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis, using liver explant histopathology correlation.

Methods: Thirty patients underwent a Primovist-enhanced MRI prior to liver transplantation for cirrhosis at the Princess Alexandra Hospital from 2006 to June 2012. Pre-contrast T1, T2 and post-Primovist arterial, portal venous and delayed hepatobiliary phase sequences were routinely obtained.
