Liver metastases: The role of magnetic resonance imaging

Figure 5 Multiple liver metastases from breast cancer. A: ECA-magnetic resonance imaging of a 51-year-old woman shows multiple liver lesions with central marker hyperintensity on T2-weighted images; B: Diffusion weighted imaging sequence demonstrates lesions’ peripheral restricted diffusion; C: Apparent diffusion coefficient map shows a corresponding peripheral hypointensity of the lesions; D: On post-contrast arterial phase the lesions demonstrate a peripheral hyperenhancement rim with a central hypo-perfused area; E: On portal venous a corresponding peripheral washout is observed; F: On delayed post-contrast phase the peripheral hypoenhancement persists.
