Example text
After contrast administration, early nodular peripheral enhancement is seen, followed by slow centripetal fill-in. In the delayed phase, the lesion is isodense or slightly hyperdense to the adjacent parenchyma. At MRI, haemangiomas characteristically present with a very long T2 relaxation and appear hypointense on T1-weighted images. Large haemangiomas are usually heterogeneous, containing various combinations of fibrosis, haemorrhage, thrombosis, hyalinisation and cystic degeneration. Typical imaging findings are early hyperintense peripheral nodular enhancement with complete fill-in on delayed imaging.
Gallstones Seventy to eighty percent of gallstones are cholesterol stones with pigment, while mixed and calcium carbonate calculi comprise the remainder. Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice for suspected gallstones. These present as echogenic intraluminal structures with associated posterior acoustic shadow. On CT gallstones may present as calcified round structures or as hypodense intraluminal lesions, characteristic of cholesterol stones. At MRI gallstones appear as filling defects within the high T2-w signal intensity bile contained in the gallbladder.
T2 relaxometry is the best method to quantify liver iron concentration using MRI. It is accurate and reproducible at all levels of iron overload and also allows myocardial iron concentration to be measured. However, T2 relaxometry models are not yet standardised nor are widely available. On the other hand, signal intensity ratio (SIR) methods, measuring SIR between the liver and other tissues in which iron is not generally deposited, usually paraspinal muscles, although less accurate with values of liver iron concentration >350 μmol Fe/g, have high specificity at all levels of iron overload, have been standardised, are reproducible and are already widely available.
