Variations in signal intensity of HCCs with lipiodol uptake on MRI according to the amount of lipiodol uptake

Group	Signal intensity	T2WI	T1WI	DWI				GE
				b=0	b=50	b=400	b=800	In	Out
A (n=16)	High	8	2	7	8	8	5	9	2
	Iso	5	3	8	7	6	7	4	3
	Mixed	1	1	0	0	0	0	0	1
	Low	1	10	1	1	2	4	3	10
B (n=12)	High	6	2	6	7	7	6	6	0
	Iso	2	0	1	1	1	1	0	1
	Mixed	4	4	3	3	4	3	5	4
	Low	0	6	1	1	0	2	1	7

Group A was consisted of HCCs with dense lipiodol uptake (more than 90%) and group B with partial lipiodol uptake (between 50% and 90%). One HCC in group A had no T2WI, and one HCC in group B had no diffusion weighted images (b=0).
HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; T2WI, T2-weighted images; T1WI, T1-weighted images; DWI, diffusion-weighted images; GE in, in-phase gradient-echo images; GE out, out-of-phase gradient-echo images.
