title: Hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia: diagnosis by ultrafast Gd-DTPA enhanced FLASH MR.
abstract: The utility of gadolinium-enhanced ultrafast MR imaging in the diagnosis of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) of the liver was assessed in one patient. Contrast-enhanced serial snapshot-FLASH with a frequency of 30 images/min demonstrated the typical hemodynamic appearance of FNH known from CT studies.
