Triphasic CT at the time of HCC diagnosis (March 2009). (A) The precontrast image shows a hypodense lesion (arrow) at the site of the punctate hyperenhancing lesion shown in Figure 4. (B) The corresponding arterial-phase postcontrast image reveals hyperenhancement (arrow). (C) The portal-phase postcontrast image shows washout (arrow), and all features are typical of HCC and confirm the diagnosis in the setting of chronic HBV.
