Abstract
The T1-based signal-enhancing effects of ferumoxides was studied in five li ver hemangiomas on short echo-time gradient-recalled echo dynamic magnetic resonance imaging to assess the utility of this technique to image perfusio n patterns in liver hemangiomas. We observed peripheral nodular enhancement with centripetal fill in all hemangiomas. Our results suggest that this im aging technique, after rapid injection of ferumoxides, can be used for lesi on characterization.
