Hemodynamics of small hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia: evaluation with single-level dynamic CT during hepatic arteriography.
OBJECTIVE
We examined the usefulness of single-level dynamic CT during hepatic arteriography to observe the hemodynamics of small hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia.


CONCLUSIONS
Single-level dynamic CT during hepatic arteriography revealed not only centrifugal blood supply through the fibrous stellate scar, but also the drainage to dilated veins in or near the focal nodular hyperplasia nodule and directly to the hepatic sinusoid in the surrounding liver.
