Figure 3
From: Pathobiological and Radiological Approach For Hepatocellular Carcinoma Subclassification
This figure illustrates two different cases of HCC with Pattern C (first patient: A–D; second patient: E–H). The HCC appeared different in all the basal sequences. In T1-weighted images in-phase the lesion appeared hypointense in A (arrow) and hyperintense in D (arrow-heads). In T1-weighted images out-phase the lesion appeared hypointense in B (arrow) and with different degree of signal drop-out in E (arrow-heads). In T2-weighted images the lesion appeared hyperintense in c (arrow) and isointense in D (arrow-heads). However, at histopathological analysis, they share the same macrotrabecular morphology and vascularization (D,H).
