Hepatic pseudolesions caused by alterations in intrahepatic hemodynamics

Figure 12  Focal hyperplastic change in cholecystic venous drainage area (50^th male). A: On T1 weighted opposed-phase magnetic resonance (MR) image, focal hyperintense lesion is observed at segment IV of the liver adjacent to the gallbladder (*). B: The focal lesion shows hypointensity on fat suppressed T2 weighted MR image (*). C: The focal lesion shows hyperintensity on hepatobiliary phase of Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (*). These findings observed at segment IV of the liver adjacent to the gallbladder represent focal hyperplastic change of the liver in cholecystic venous drainage area.
