Overview
On MRI, hepatic hemangioma is characterized by hypointensity on T1-weighted imaging and hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging.[1]
MRI
On MRI, hepatic hemangioma is characterized by:[1]
- T1: Hypointense relative to liver parenchyma
- T2: Hyperintense relative to liver parenchyma
- Portal venous enhancement: Peripheral nodular enhancement
- Delayed enhancement: Lesion fills in the contrast
Gallery
Shown below is MRI image of a patient with hepatic hemangioma.
