Perfusion-Diffusion Ratio: A New IVIM Approach in Differentiating Solid Benign and Malignant Primary Lesions of the Liver

Figure 3

An HCC lesion is shown. Images (a–j) represent subsequent -values in IVIM acquisition; image (k) is T2 haste FS and shows mild hyperintensity of the lesion; (l-o) are arterial, portal venous, and equilibrium phase after Gd-Bopta administration and present arterial enhancement, with washout and capsule appearance; (p) is the hepatobiliary phase which shows enhancement of the lesion similar compared to the surrounding liver.
