Abstract
The study including 25 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma has evaluated the potentials for the accurate differential diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using the hepato-specific contrast agent, a gadoxetic acid (Primovist), and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI). It was found that the combination of a number of MRI signs - diffuse heterogeneous "amplification" of focus in the arterial phase, rapid "washout" of contrast agent in the venous phase (with persistent heterogeneity of the internal structure of the focus), hyperintensity on DWI with isointensity on ICD-cards and hypointensity of focus in hepatospecific phase - allows to reliable identify such detectable focal lesion as HCC.
