Pearls and pitfalls in magnetic resonance imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 9 Combined hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma in 65-year old woman without chronic liver disease. A: Axial T2-weighted image shows lobulated heterogeneous mass (orange arrow) located centrally in segments VII and VIII; B-D: The tumor is hypointense on T1-weghted fat-saturated image (B), with thick rim of enhancement on arterial phase (C) and progressive enhancement on portal venous phase (D); E and F: The tumor (orange arrows) is hypointense on hepatobiliary phase (E) and hyperintense on diffusion-weighted image (F). Note also hemangioma peripherally in segment VIII (yellow arrow).
