Imaging characteristics of hypervascular focal nodular hyperplasia-like lesions in patients with chronic alcoholic liver disease

Figure 1 A 58-year-old man with alcoholic liver cirrhosis (patient No. 5). A and B: T1-weighted gradient-echo (GRE) magnetic resonance (MR) (A: In-phase; B: Opposed-phase) image shows a small and high-signal-intensity nodule (arrow) in the lateral segment; C: T2-weighted fast spin-echo MR imaging (MRI) shows iso-intensity nodule (arrow); D and E: Gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted GRE MRI obtained during the arterial- and portal venous phase reveals a nodule with arterial phase hyperenhancement (arrow) and without washout (arrow); F: The superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-enhanced T2*-weighted GRE MRI shows the lesion as a low-signal intensity nodule (arrow) with SPIO uptake compared with the surrounding liver parenchyma.
