Fig. 3B. 57-year-old man with chronic type C viral hepatitis and poorly
differentiated 5.8-cm hepatocellular carcinoma showing high vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, discrete hypointensity on
in-phase T1-weighted, heterogeneous discrete hyperintensity on T2-weighted,
and weak enhancement on hepatic arterial dominant phase images. Child-Pugh
grade was A. In-phase T1-weighted spoiled gradient-recalled echo (GRE) (TR/TE,
150/4.2) axial image shows hepatocellular carcinoma (arrow) as
discrete hypointense lesion with internal areas of lower signal intensity
(arrowhead). Likewise, opposed-phase T1-weighted spoiled GRE
(150/1.6) axial image (not shown here) shows hepatocellular carcinoma as
discrete hypointense lesion with internal areas of lower signal intensity.
