Title: Optimizing LI-RADS: Ancillary features screened from LR-3/4 categories can improve
the diagnosis of HCC on MRI
Version: 6 Date: 25 Feb 2024
Reviewer:  Sidong Xie
Reviewer's report:
1. In the inclusion criteria, "nodules" were still used in Figure 1, while in the Materials and
Methods section,  "nodules" or "lesions" were used. In order to standardization and uniformity,
it is recommended to change to "observations" or "lesions".
2. What does" *" represent in Tables 3 and 4? Please add a note
3. In Figure 2, the measurement of lesion size is not described, and how to use LI-RADS for
classification#What does the mean of this sentence “The nodule was classified into LR-4 in
addition to the major features and based on AF-HCC, especially TP hypointensity, it can be
upgraded. ”
4. A similar problem also appears in Figure 3.
