Figure 4 Multi-detector computed tomography of hepatocellular carcinoma. A: Pre-contrast; B: Late arterial phase; C: Portal venous phase; D: Equilibrium phase dynamic multi-detector computed tomography images. The hepatocellular carcinoma (arrowheads) is visualised as an enhanced nodule in the late arterial phase and as a hypo-attenuated nodule in the equilibrium phase; E: Three-dimensional computed tomography angiography of hepatic arteries shows that the right hepatic artery branches (arrow in E) from the superior mesenteric artery; F: The portal venous system with creation of varices (arrow)[66].
