Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma - HCC with classic tumor capsule






























Focal well defined lesion in the right lobe of the liver.

T2 - is isointense to  the liver parenchyma with peripheral hyperintensity

  T1 - is hyperintense 

  Postcontrast - demonstrates intense arterial enhancement 
  with delayed tumor capsule.

  Classic features of HCC.

  The T1 hyperintensity is probably due to high copper  
  content and is seen in well differentiated HCC
