Hepatic angiomyolipoma: value of proton (fat/water) chemical shift fast low angle shot (FLASH) MR imaging technique in detecting fatty tissue content.
A case of angiomyolipoma of the liver in a 43-yr-old woman is reported. Findings on ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques are presented and the usefulness of proton (fat/water) chemical shift FLASH imaging to confirm the presence of intratumoral fat is pointed out.
