Figure 3b: MR images in a 61-year-old woman with HCC who had no visible nodule at MR imaging performed 14 months earlier. (a) Transverse T1-weighted 3D gadolinium-enhanced gradient-echo dynamic MR image (5/1.6) obtained during hepatic arterial phase shows early homogeneous enhancement of 1.6-cm nodule (arrow). (b) Transverse T1-weighted 3D gadolinium-enhanced gradient-echo dynamic MR image (5/1.6) obtained during venous phase reveals hypointense HCC (arrow) with washout enhancement pattern. (c) Transverse fast spin-echo MR image (2500/80.0 [effective]) shows slightly hyperintense HCC (arrow).
