Primary objectives: The primary objective of this study is to compare the performance (sensitivity and specificity) of ultrasound alone to the combination of both ultrasound and the IvyGene® Dx Liver Cancer Test for the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma within a high-risk population. The primary method to confirm or rule out the presence of hepatocellular carcinoma will be diagnostic imaging by using multiphasic MRI. Secondary objectives: The secondary objectives of this study are:1) To compare the performance (sensitivity and specificity) of ultrasound alone to the IvyGene® Dx Liver Cancer Test alone for the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma.2) To compare the performance (sensitivity and specificity) of ultrasound alone to the combination of both ultrasound and the IvyGene® Dx Liver Cancer Test for the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma lesions that are ≤ 2cm in diameter.3) To compare the performance (sensitivity and specificity) of ultrasound alone to the IvyGene® Dx Liver Cancer Test alone for the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma lesions that are ≤ 2cm in diameter.
