Fig. 2From: Diffusion-weighted imaging compared to dynamic MRI in early response assessment of locoregional therapy (by trans-arterial chemoembolization & microwave ablation) of hepatocellular carcinomaMR imaging of female patient with elevated AFP 2 m after TACE of right liver lobe HCC. A Axial T2 seq. reveals central coagulative and liquefactive necrosis at ablated lesion with peripheral hyperintensity. B & C Diffusion MR study and ADC map reveals restricted diffusion at periphery of ablated lesion denoting malignant viable tumor tissue D–G Dynamic MR study shows no contrast enhancement at periphery of ablated lesion in arterial or portal phasesBack to article page
