FIGURE 4.
A 69-year-old male with liver cirrhosis secondary to chronic hepatitis C and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein invasion. DW images at b50 and b500 demonstrate right posterior lobe HCC with restricted diffusion (short arrow) with evidence of tumor thrombus involving the right posterior portal vein (long arrow), better depicted on DWI compared to contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images at the arterial and portal venous phases (AP and PVP).
