Pearls and pitfalls in magnetic resonance imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 11 Scirrhous hepatocellular carcinoma in 68-year old woman with chronic hepatitis C infection. A: Coronal T2-weighted image shows moderately hyperintense subcapsullary located lesion in segments VI and V (orange arrow); B-D: The tumor (orange arrows) is hypointense on axial T1-weighted FS image (B), hypervascular on arterial phase (C) with only small regions of washout in portal venous phase (D); E: On diffusion-weighted image the lesion is hyperintense. Note also capsular retraction on A (yellow arrow).
