Fig. 1A —26-year-old woman with focal low signal in anterior medial
aspect of medial segment of liver on arterial and venous phases (patient 21 in
Table 1). Axial
contrast-enhanced gradient-echo T1-weighted MR image obtained during arterial
phase shows focal geographic low signal in liver (arrows).

Fig. 3A —59-year-old woman with focal low signal in anterior medial
aspect of medial segment of liver on venous phase (patient 7 in
Table 1). Axial
contrast-enhanced gradient-echo T1-weighted MR image obtained during arterial
phase shows no focal geographic low signal in liver. Note small central vessel
within region (arrow). Asterisk indicates pancreatic pseudocyst.
