title: Hemodynamic characterization of focal nodular hyperplasia using three-dimensional volume-rendered multidetector CT angiography.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The goal of this study was to show the ability of three-dimensional multidetector CT angiography to display the angioarchitecture of focal nodular hyperplasia.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  CT angiography with volume rendering shows the anomalous feeding artery and hepatic draining veins that are characteristic of focal nodular hyperplasia. These features may be helpful in distinguishing focal nodular hyperplasia from other lesions.
