MRI of hepatocellular carcinoma

(Figure A) T2-weighted image of the liver dome with two hyperintense masses (arrows).

(Figure B) T1 post-contrast image in hepatic arterial phase demonstrating early hyperenhancement of these two masses (arrows).

(Figure C) Portal venous phase imaging shows washout of the masses (arrow). These masses are now less intense when compared with background liver parenchyma. There is an enhancing capsule surrounding the mass on this delayed phase (thick arrow).
