Figure 9 Dysplastic nodule progressing into an hepatocellular carcinoma. Post-contrast fat-suppressed 3D-GRE T1-weighted images during the late hepatic arterial (A and C) and delayed phases (B and D). There is a small right hepatic lobe nodule, which demonstrates increased arterial enhancement (arrowhead, A) and fades out on the delayed images (B) on the initial examination. On the 4-month follow-up study, there is evidence of interval growth (arrowhead, C, D) and development of clear delayed washout (arrowhead, D) both of which are signs of progression into HCC. HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; GRE: Gradient recalled echo.
