Figure 3.

Diffusion-weighted images with different b values from a 47 year-old female patient presenting with liver hemangioma in the transition between the V and VI segments. The image with b value = 50 s/mm² is more "anatomical", with attenuation of the perfusion effects, i.e., attenuation of the vessels and spinal fluid (A). On the images with higher b values (B,C) one observes, progressively, attenuation of signal intensity in the healthy tissues, however the hemangioma persists with high signal intensity (tissue with greater cellularity/ T2 effect).
