Isolated hepatic tuberculoma is localized hepatic tuberculosis (TB) without bile duct involvement, which presents as solitary or multiple nodular mass lesion of liver mimicking a neoplastic lesion in radiological evaluation. Clinical presentation and biochemical tests for liver functions show non-specific abnormality, which is not helpful for diagnosis. As the treatment, modality of isolated he...

OBJECTIVE AMI-227 is an ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide colloid known to enhance tissue T1 and T2 relaxation rates. Animal studies show that AMI-227 has an estimated blood half-life of more than 200 min. In this study, we evaluated the clinical utility of AMI-227 as an MR contrast agent for detection and characterization of focal hepatic lesions, with MR imaging done while the contrast ...

topic hematopoiesis that is a common feature of chronic bone marrow failure. However, EMH is rarely encountered in general radiological practice (1). A mass-like EMH lesion in the liver is an atypical presentation. Furthermore, hepatic periportal EMH is less common than other types of focal hepatic EMH (2). We present the sonographic and CT findings of a histologically confirmed case of hepatic...

Abstract Splenosis is a benign and rare condition that usually caused by trauma or splenectomy other procedures involving splenic tissue. The patient asymptomatic often diagnosed incidentally especially when presents as intrahepatic lesion, can be misdiagnosed neoplasm. Here, we present case report of 56-year-old male patient, who was detected to have focal liver lesion on routine ultrasound ch...

Background: The liver is involved in disseminated tuberculosis more than 80% of cases while primary involvement rare, representing <1% all cases. Hepatic (TB) can be treated by conventional anti-TB therapy; however, diagnosing this disease remains a challenge. diagnosis might particularly difficult patients with single lesion that could misdiagnosed as tumor or other focal lesions. Although ...

Objective: To determine if the hepatobiliary phase of gadoxetate disodium-enhanced hepatic MRI increases the sensitivity in differentiating focal nodular hyperplasia from hepatocellular adenomas. Design: Prospective analysis. Methods: This study was comprised of 52 patients (2 men, 50 women) with suspicion of hepatocellular adenomas or with focal nodular hyperplasia on a previous CT or conventi...

Hepatic lesions are frequently identified incidentally on • imaging performed for other purposes. With the exception of large lesions, benign hepatic neo• plasms are typically asymptomatic. With current high quality imaging, it is possible to differentiate • the majority of hepatic neoplasms as benign or malignant. Resection of indeterminant, worrisome lesions is generally • preferred over biop...

OBJECTIVE To assess the value of applying MultiVane to liver T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) compared with conventional T2WIs with emphasis on detection of focal liver lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-eight patients (43 men and 35 women) with 86 hepatic lesions and 20 pancreatico-biliary diseases underwent MRI including T2WIs acquired using breath-hold (BH), respiratory-triggered (RT), and M...
