  • Title: Hepatocellular carcinoma: conventional MRI findings including gadolinium-enhanced dynamic imaging.
    Author: Ito K.
    Journal: Eur J Radiol; 2006 May; 58(2):186-99. PubMed ID: 16413154.
    Abstract:
    A great variety of MR pulse sequences for hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) are now available. In this article, we reviewed the current MR imaging techniques that are routinely used for hepatic imaging, and described the optimization of these sequences as well as the utility and characteristics of each sequence for the accurate diagnosis of HCCs. Then, we reviewed various MR imaging findings of advanced and early HCCs with emphasis on signal intensity and hemodynamic patterns. Finally, we described the value of multi-arterial-phase contrast-enhanced dynamic MR imaging of the whole liver with excellent temporal resolution for evaluating transitional hemodynamics of hepatic lesions during the six arterial phases.
