Impact of pre-examination video education in Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced liver MRI: A comparative study.
Article in Journal of medical radiation sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, and early diagnosis via gadolinium ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) significantly impacts patient outcomes. However, patient anxiety during MRI can affect image quality. This study investigates the impact of pre-examination video education on anxiety, satisfaction and image quality in Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced liver MRI.
methodsWe prospectively enrolled 480 patients who underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced liver MRI from January 2022 to May 2023 at our hospital. Patients were divided into study and control groups in order of odd and even days, with 240 cases in each group. Before the examination, the radiology staff provided routine verbal guidance and breathing training to the patients in the control group, while the study group was given additional video education. The state anxiety scores, satisfaction scores of the provided information and motion artefact scores of the images before and after the examination were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe state anxiety scores of both groups of patients were lower than before the examination (all P < 0.05), but the change value of the study group was significantly greater than that of the control group (P = 0.004). The satisfaction rate of the information provided before the scan in the study group was significantly higher (P < 0.001). The image quality scores of the arterial phase were similar between the two groups (P = 0.403), but the image quality of the study group in the pre-contrast, portal phase, transitional phase and hepatobiliary phase was significantly better than that of the control group (all P < 0.05).
conclusionSupplementing routine pre-scan care with video guidance for Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced liver MRI offers several benefits, including reduced patient anxiety, increased satisfaction and improved image quality. These results suggest the potential for widespread application of video-based interventions to enhance the MRI experience for patients.
