Fig. 2A 37-year-old man at follow-up examination after left hepatic
lobectomy for resection of hepatocellular carcinoma; patient reported
bilateral lower extremity swelling 10 days before MR examinations. Axial true
fast imaging with steady-state precession image (TR/TE, 4.8/2.3; flip angle,
70°; matrix, 134 x 256; slice thickness, 5 mm) at level of superior
abdomen shows slight heterogeneous appearance of inferior vena cava (IVC)
(arrow) with minimal decrease in signal intensity compared with that
of portal vein (arrowhead). Both reviewers interpreted this finding
as no evidence for thrombus.
