Incidental nonneoplastic hypervascular lesions in the noncirrhotic liver: diagnosis with 16-MDCT and 3D CT angiography.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this pictorial essay is to review the MDCT features of uncommon hypervascular lesions seen with advanced image processing.


CONCLUSIONS
MDCT with advanced image processing is useful in delineating uncommon hypervascular liver lesions that simulate tumors. Familiarity with the appearance of these lesions may reduce the need for additional imaging, follow-up, and histologic correlation.
