Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Aged 18–80 years 2. Clinically, laboratorily, radiologically, or pathologically confirmed liver cirrhosis. 3. Baseline multi-parametric liver MRI showing at least one nodule meeting the definition of NHHNs (hypointense on hepatobiliary phase, without typical arterial hyperenhancement). 4.

Severe cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, or neurological diseases, or other serious comorbidities that may significantly affect survival or follow-up compliance. 3. Pregnant or lactating women. 4. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73 m² or acute kidney injury. 5. Child-Pugh class C liver function. 6. Contraindications to MRI examination or gadolinium-based contrast agents. 7. Assessed by investigators as unlikely to comply with study procedures or unsuitable for participation.
