Abstract:
The objective of this study was to analyze the enhancement patterns at dynamic gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted MR imaging in patients of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) with associated Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). The MR imaging findings in 10 patients of HCC with associated BCS were compared to those of 32 other patients of HCC without BCS. During the arterial phase, significantly more lesions with BCS were hyperintense than lesions without BCS; during the equilibrium phase, significantly more lesions with BCS were slightly hyperintense or isointense than lesions without BCS (P < 0.05 for both). For HCC, contrast enhancement on MRI shows different enhancement patterns between patients of HCC with associated BCS and those without BCS.

Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not...
