Figure 9

MR images obtained in 63-year-old man with a hepatocellular carcinoma. A hepatocellular carcinoma in segment 6 is clearly shown on T2-weighted fat-suppressed SS-ETSE (a). Precontrast (b) and gadoxetic acid- (Gd-EOB-DTPA-) enhanced 3D CAIPIRINHA GRE obtained using view-sharing technique ((c)–(f)) images during multiple hepatic arterial dominant phases at 4-second temporal resolution, show gradually increasing hypervascularity of the hepatocellular carcinoma (arrows) compared with that of the liver parenchyma.
