Pearls and pitfalls in magnetic resonance imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 6 Diffuse hepatocellular carcinoma in 38-year-old man with long-standing Wilson disease. Axial T2-weighted FS image shows multiple moderately hyperintense nodules scattered throughout liver parenchyma. A: Note also portal vein thrombosis with signal intensity of the thrombus similar to tumor nodules in the liver; B: On diffusion weighted image diffuse hyperintensity is seen corresponding to multiple tumor nodules; C and D: On arterial phase patchy enhancement can be seen including portal vein thrombus (C), with heterogeneous washout in portal vein phase (D).
