Male patient 43 years old with chronic viral hepatitis C and HCC in segment VIII diagnosed as HCC. He underwent RFA; follow-up MRI study was done after 12 weeks after ablation revealed high ADC value and no diffusion restriction in a non-viable ablated bed. The lesion showed an isointense signal at T1WI (a), hypointense signal at T2WI (b), at DCE-MRI “arterial (c), portal (d) and delayed (e) series” showed no significant enhancement, DWI at b value 500 (f) and 800 (g) showed no restricted diffusion, with a corresponding high signal at ADC series (h) (ADC value = 1.35 × 10⁻³ mm²/s)
