Differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma from its various mimickers in liver magnetic resonance imaging: What are the tips when using hepatocyte-specific agents?

Figure 8 Focal nodular hyperplasia in a 55-year-old woman. A: Hepatic arterial phase image of gadoxetic acid-enhanced etic resonance imaging shows lobulating contoured, marked enhanced tumor; B, C: Portal venous and transitional phases show slightly hyperenhancement of the tumor relative to the liver parenchyma, and central hypointense area is suspected as central scar; D: Hepatobiliary phase shows peripheral ring-like enhancement of the tumor with larger area of markedly hypointense central scar as compared with the other phase images.
