Focal Nodular Hyperplasia of the Liver: Assessment of Hemodynamic and Angioarchitectural Patterns with Gadolinium Chelate-Enhanced 3D Spoiled Gradient-Recalled MRI and Maximum Intensity Projection

Abstract

The combination of gadolinium chelate-enhanced 3D spoiled GRE source images and MIP reformatted images allows the analysis of morphologic, hemodynamic, and angioarchitectural patterns of FNH of the liver. Further study and comparison with currently applied strategies will determine the value of these two techniques for diagnosing FNH of the liver.
