Fig. 2From: HCC screening: assessment of an abbreviated non-contrast MRI protocolA 59-year-old patient with chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis who has at least 10 hypoechoic lesions on US (a) measuring 2–3 cm (arrowhead). On gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (b, c), these are shown to be focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH)-like nodules in cirrhosis (arrowheads). This patient cannot be reliably screened with ultrasound. In fact, FNH-like nodules are identical to classic FNH and are benign. They occur in cirrhosis and are believed to originate from acquired hyperplastic responses to vascular alterations associated with cirrhosisBack to article page
