Fig. 3From: Qualitative analysis of small (≤2 cm) regenerative nodules, dysplastic nodules and well-differentiated HCCs with gadoxetic acid MRIMR scans in a patient with chronic hepatitis, HCV related, and a regenerative nodule in liver segment VIII. a-b T1 - and T2-weighted images do not reveal any focal liver lesion. c T1-weighted gradient-echo shows a hypervascular lesion without wash-out during the late dynamic phase d). On the corresponding MR image obtained during the liver-specific hepatobiliary phase (e), the lesion is isointense to adjacent hepatic parenchyma. At pathologic examination of the explanted liver, this lesion corresponded to a multiacinar cirrhotic noduleBack to article page
