Imaging hypervascular liver metastasis
Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: The radiologic diagnosis of liver metastasis involves detection, characterization, and tumor staging. Knowledge of the histopathologic changes that occur with metastases provides the best approach to the accurate interpretation of radiologic imaging findings. In particular, radiologists need to choose appropriate imaging methods based on such knowledge. Hypervascular liver metastases are often less conspicuous and/or isoattenuating in relation to enhanced liver parenchyma on CT images obtained during the portal venous or equilibrium phase. We focused on typical imaging findings of hypervascular liver metastasis and how to screen it, including neuroendocrine tumor, carcinoid, malignant melanoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, and thyroid carcinoma.
