The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of
small hypovascular nodules detected on only
hepatobiliary phase of Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MR imaging
as hyper-intensity. In this study, none of the nodules
showed hypervascularization during follow-up periods,
and most of these nodules did not show the increase in
size. Therefore, our results suggested that small
hypovascular hepatocellular nodules showing
hyper-intensity only in the hepatobiliary phase of
Gd-EOB-DPTA enhanced MR imaging without increase in size
in patients with chronic liver disease might be
observable lesions with clinical benignity.
