Diffusion-Weighted Imaging with Two Different -Values in Detection of Solid Focal Liver Lesions

Figure 2

Transverse images in 62-year-old man with HCC. (a) Fat-suppressed T2-weighted fast spin-echo image shows that lesion is difficult to be detected. (b) DW image with higher -value shows that lesion is strongly hyperintense to the liver. (c) DW image with low -value shows that lesion is obscure. (d) Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted image in arterial phase demonstrates strong enhancement of lesion.
