View larger version (168K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1A. —23-year-old woman with autoimmune cirrhosis. Transverse in-phase T1-weighted gradient-echo MR image (TR/TE, 175/4.4; flip angle, 90°) also shows two hyperintense nodules (arrows).

View larger version (135K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1B. —23-year-old woman with autoimmune cirrhosis. Transverse opposed-phase T1-weighted gradient-echo MR image (175/2.2; flip angle, 90°) shows two hyperintense nodules (arrows). Note that two nodules showed no signal loss compared with appearance in A.

View larger version (148K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1C. —23-year-old woman with autoimmune cirrhosis. Transverse turbo STIR image (5200/76; inversion time, 165 msec) shows nodules (arrows) as hypointense compared with background of cirrhotic liver in right lobe and as isointense relative to caudate lobe.

Transverse in-phase T1-weighted gradient-echo MR image (225/4.4; flip angle, 90°) of ex vivo liver obtained 11 days after A–C shows nodule (arrow) in lateral segment as hyperintense and larger than cirrhotic nodules in background.

Photomicrograph of coronal section (perpendicular to A and B) from liver explanted 25 days after MR imaging shows large regenerative nodules with cholestatic changes but no dysplastic nodules.
