Atypical Findings of Focal Nodular Hyperplasia with Gadoxetic Acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report two cases of focal nodular hyperplasia in patients following gadoxetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging confirmed with histopathology. These cases showed an atypical pattern during the delayed-hepatobiliary phase after the injection of gadoxetic acid. One case showed a total defect, and the other showed a peripheral ring-like enhancement without a visible central scar, mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma. The pathologic examination demonstrated that the two lesions were focal nodular hyperplasia.

The role of MRI using liver-specific contrast agent in the assessment of focal liver lesion
Radiol Bras. 2014 Set/Out;47(5):VII–VIII In the last decade, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the use of intravenous extracellular contrast agents (for example, Gd-DTPA and Gd-DOTA) has been recognized as the noninvasive diagnostic tool of choice in the evaluation of focal liver lesions thanks to the fact that it does not require ionizing radiation in association with its high spatial reso...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to systematically review the diagnostic performance of gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (Gd-EOB-DTPA-MRI) for differentiation of hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH), as well as HCA classification by using the low signal intensity (SI) in the hepatobiliary phase (HBP). Methods: A systematic process was used t...

BACKGROUND Correct characterization of focal solid hepatic lesions has always been a challenge and is of great diagnostic and therapeutic relevance. The purpose of this study was to determine the added value of hepatobiliary phase images in Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for differentiating focal solid hepatic lesions. METHODS In this retrospective trial 84 consecutive ...
متن کاملMRI with hepatobiliary contrast
Hepatobiliary contrast agents currently are essentially gadolinium based agents (Gd-EOB-DTPA and GdBOPTA) with dual ability to perform dynamic contrast enhanced imaging similar to extracellular gadolinium contrast as well as providing hepatobiliary uptake and excretion in later phases. Hepatobiliary uptake and excretion with gadoxetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) is related to OATP and cMOAT and MRP2 rec...
متن کاملDescription of focal liver lesions with Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI
Imaging procedures play a fundamental role in the therapeutic management of focal liver lesions. The goals of imaging are to detect and correctly characterize focal liver lesions. This review highlights the performances of newer, liver-specific, contrast media in the diagnosis of focal liver lesions, particularly Gd-EOB-DTPA (Primovist), the most frequently used liver specific contrast media. I...
