Imaging Characteristics of Liver Mass Lesions

Early enhancement & Washout 
  • Hepatocellular Carcinoma
  • Hepatic Adenoma
  • Cholangiocarcinoma
  • Hypervascular metastases (unusual)
Bright on T2
  • Haemangioma
  • Hepatocellular Carcinoma
  • Cholangiocarcinoma
  • Metastases
  • Simple Cysts (very bright esp on Te > 120)
Contains Fat or blood 
  • Hepato-cellular Carcinoma
  • Adenoma (most drop signal on OOP image)
Pseudo-capsule (compressed liver)
  • Hepato-cellular Carcinoma

  • Adenoma
Decreased Signal on OOP image
  • Adenoma
  • Fatty infiltration (cirrhosis, post chemotherapy)
Uniform enhancement
  • Fibro-nodular Hyperplasia
  • Adenoma
Persistent rim enhancement
  • metastases
  • Late enhancement & delayed washout
  • Haemangioma

  • very rarely hypervascular metastases
