Curves indicate relative accuracy with which hepatocellular carcinomas were detected on ferumoxides-enhanced () MR images of all five sequences (area under ROC curve [Az] = 0.971 ± 0.013) and mangafodipir trisodium—enhanced () MR images of all four sequences (Az = 0.950 ± 0.016). Difference in mean areas under curves was significant (p < 0.05).
