T2-weighted and T1-weighted Dynamic Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide (Ferucarbotran) Enhanced MRI of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Hyperplastic Nodules

T2-weighted and T1-weighted Dynamic Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide (Ferucarbotran) Enhanced MRI of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Hyperplastic Nodules

Iron oxide contrast medium (ferucarbotran) shortens both T1 and T2 relaxation time. We used the T2- and the T1-weighted dynamic ferucarbotran-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to predict the histologic grade of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to distinguish HCC from hyperplastic nodules. M...
