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

Figure 1

Transverse images in 49-year-old man with HCC. (a) Fat-suppressed T2-weighted fast spin-echo image shows that lesion is slightly hyperintense to the liver. (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 slightly hyperintense to the liver with ill-defined margin. (d) Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted image in arterial phase demonstrates strong enhancement of lesion.
