8. Sequential: Plain, arterial, venous phases in HCC CT scan
Sequential: Plain, arterial, venous phases in Hemangioma CT scan
LIRAD type 4,5
Arterial enhancement, venous wash out
The specific CT scan that must be ordered is a
Triphasic CT scan
9.

11. MRI in HCC:
Look at the non contrastT2W images.White
lesions inT2W images are significant lesions.
Enhancement is checked inT1W images
MRI in Hemangioma
12.
13. White appearance in T2 W Plain MRI is a
significant finding.
This requires specialist opinion.

hepatocytes?
Always look for portal triads under low
power.
No lobular architecture = Hepatic
adenoma
Check for reticulin loss = well
differentiated HCC

58. New mass in the liver always needs aVILT work up. Never believe a
diagnosis of hemangioma.
Use all resources to predict biology.
Attempt curative treatments as much as possible. 5 year survival of 70% is
good.
Use simplified algorithms for decision making.
