Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma: An Update on Imaging

Figure 9

Imaging of hepatic metastases in medullary thyroid carcinoma of the same patient using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) (a), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion-weighted sequence (b); contrast-enhanced MRI, T1 weighted images (DCE)(c); MRI, T2 weighted image (d). MRI shows improved visualization of metastatic lesions compared to CT (red arrows) and can also detect very small metastases (green arrows), which may not be visible on CT.
