Trans-arterial gene therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma in a rabbit model

Figure 2 Images in a VX2 rabbit with a solid HCC in group D. A: Pretherapeutic unenhanced T2-weighted axial MR imaging with FSE sequence (3000/89.2). The hyperintense lesion with a size of 12 mm × 13 mm is well discernible from the surrounding liver tissue; B: Post-therapeutic unenhanced T2-weighted axial MR imaging with FSE sequence (3000/89.2) showing an inhomogeneous area corresponding to the intrahepatic metastasis. The tumor with a size of 23 mm × 27 mm had a rapid growth compared with that before therapy.
