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
