OBJECTIVE. To achieve dynamic contrast-enhanced hepatic volumetric cine imaging, we developed a prototype 256-MDCT scanner. This study examined the feasibility of the technique for human hepatic imaging in three hepatocellular carcinoma patients.

CONCLUSION. Volumetric cine imaging successfully visualized dynamic contrast enhancement of the hepatocellular carcinoma. It is helpful to evaluate the phase of contrast enhancement or for functional studies of the head, renal artery, coronary artery, and liver.
