Fig. 5B 46-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-enhanced steady-state gradient-recalled
echo images obtained with TEs of 9 (A), 13.5 (B), 18 (C),
and 22.5 (D) milliseconds. Signal intensity of small HCC is markedly
decreased as TE increases due to contrast uptake within lesion and prominent
susceptibility effect; hence, lesion is poorly shown on images obtained with
longer TE.
