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

Figure 3

Transverse images in 56-year-old man with solitary necrotic nodule. (a) Fat-suppressed T2-weighted fast spin-echo image shows that lesion is isointense to the liver. (b) DW image with higher -value shows that lesion is difficult to be identified. (c) DW image with low -value shows lesion of hyperintensity could easily be detected. (d) Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted image in arterial phase demonstrates nonenhancement of lesion.
