Differentiation between hepatocellular carcinoma showing hyperintensity on the hepatobiliary phase of gadoxetic acid–enhanced MRI and focal nodular hyperplasia by CT and MRI
American Journal of Roentgenology May 04, 2018
Kitao A, et al. - Experts sought to determine the points that were useful in the imaging differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) displaying hyperintensity on the hepatobiliary phase of gadoxetic acid–enhanced MRI and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and FNH-like nodules. They examined pathologically diagnosed HCCs that were hyperintense on hepatobiliary phase imaging and 10 FNHs and 8 FNH-like nodules. As per the data, arterial phase enhancement and washout pattern at dynamic CT and decrease of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) ratio appeared to significant for the diagnosis of hyperintense HCC differentiated from FNH and FNH-like nodule.
