1) Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver malignancy, strongly associated with cirrhosis and hepatitis B virus infection.
2) LI-RADS is a classification system used to evaluate liver lesions seen on CT and MRI scans, assigning a probability of HCC based on features such as arterial phase hyperenhancement, washout, and size.
3) Major LI-RADS features of HCC include arterial phase hyperenhancement, lack of washout in portal venous phase, presence of a capsule, size over 2cm, and threshold growth; these features are used to categorize lesions as definitely benign (LR-1), probably benign (LR-2),
This document discusses imaging techniques for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It notes that HCC is the 5th most common cancer and 3rd leading cause of cancer death, with risk factors including cirrhosis, hepatitis B/C, alcoholism, and aflatoxin exposure. Ultrasound and serum alpha-fetoprotein levels every 3-6 months allow for early detection of HCC. MRI and CT imaging can detect HCC and characterize features like vascularity, fat content, and iron accumulation that change as HCC progresses from early to advanced stages. Imaging plays a key role in the diagnosis and staging of HCC.
- Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare cancer that affects the bile ducts. It can originate in the intrahepatic, perihilar, or distal bile ducts.
- Risk factors include primary sclerosing cholangitis, parasitic infections, hepatolithiasis, and viral infections like HCV and HBV.
- Diagnosis involves blood tests, imaging like MRI/MRCP and ERCP, and biopsy. Surgery is the main treatment for resectable tumors while chemotherapy may be given for unresectable cases. The prognosis is poor even after resection due to high recurrence rates.
patterns of enhancement in hepatocellular carcinomaHaseeb Manzoor
1. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) appears as hyperenhancing lesions during the hepatic arterial phase of contrast enhanced CT or MRI due to its hypervascular nature. These lesions wash out during the portal venous phase.
2. Multiphase contrast enhanced imaging is important for diagnosing HCC as it allows evaluation of changes in intra-tumoral blood flow during different phases. Arterial phase hyperenhancement combined with washout or capsule appearance has near 100% specificity for HCC.
3. While imaging features such as arterial phase hyperenhancement and washout are characteristic of HCC, they are not entirely specific, and HCC must be differentiated from other malignancies and benign lesions.
This document discusses various malignant liver lesions including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), liver metastases, and angiosarcoma. HCC is the most common primary liver cancer, often occurring in cirrhotic livers, and can appear solitary or multifocal on imaging.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

2. HCC(HEPATOMA)
• Most common primary malignancy of the liver
• Strongly associated with cirrhosis and HBV.
• Risk factors:
• hepatitis B (HBV) /hepatitis C (HCV) infection
• alcoholism
• biliary cholangitis
• food toxins, e.g. aflatoxins
• congenital biliary atresia
• obesity and diabetes mellitus
5. • Features of HCC:
• Arterial phase enhancement
• Isodose or hypodense to liver in the portal venous phase due to fast wash-
out.
• Delayed images the capsule demonstrate prolonged enhancement.
• Tumoral capsule
• Internal mosaic pattern
• Uncommon ca+
6. HCC and Portal Vein thrombosis:
• Many patients with cirrhosis have portal venous thrombosis and many patients
with HCC have thrombosis.
It is very important to make the distinction between just thrombus and tumor
thrombus.
• Malignant thrombus :
• Enhance best in arterial phase.
• it will increase the diameter of the vessel.
• neovascularity within the thrombus
7. LI-RADS
• Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System
• classification system for liver lesions which is used in patients with liver
cirrhosis and chronic HBV without cirrhosis
• probability of HCC and is based on the typical CT and MR-findings in HCC.
• LI-RADS is not meant to be used in patients <18 years or patients with cirrhosis
due to congenital hepatic fibrosis or due to vascular disorders, because
these patients have a lower chance of developing HCC.
8. WHEN TO USE LI-RADS
• USE LIRADS
• cirrhosis
• hep b virus
• current or prior HCC
• DO NOT USE LIRADS:
• <18YEARS
• cirrhosis due to congenital hepatic fibrosis and vascular disorders
9. LI-RADS MAJOR FEATURES
• Five major features which are typically seen in HCC
1)Arterial phase hyperenhancement (APHE)
• Non-rim arterial hyperenhancement of a lesion which is greater than the
enhancement of the surrounding liver.
• Rim enhancement is not a feature of HCC.
2)Non-peripheral washout
• Decrease in attenuation or intensity from earlier to later phase, resulting in
hypoenhancement in the portal venous or delayed phase.
10. 3.Capsule
• Smooth, uniform border surrounding
4.Size
• A large lesion(>2CM) has a greater chance of
being a HCC than a small lesion.
5.Threshold growth
• Threshold growth is increase in size of 50% or
more within 6 months time during follow-up
imaging.
11. ADDITIONAL CATEGORIES ARE:
• LR-TIV - tumor in vein.
• LR-M - malignant but not HCC.
• LR-TR - treated HCC.
• LR-NC - non-categorizable for lesions in which the technical quality of the
imaging does not allow evaluation of the major features
12.
13. USE LI-RADS AS FOLLOWS:
First determine whether there is
enhancement.
Then look at the type of enhancement
Then look at the size of the lesion
Finally look for additional typical features of
HCC like enhancing capsule, non-peripheral
washout and growth of the lesion. LR-3- intermediate probability
LR-4-probable
LR-5- which is definitely HCC
14. • Lesion in a patient with liver
cirrhosis.
• There is arterial phase non-rim
hyperenhancement and the size
is 15mm.
• There is a capsule and washout
in a later phase.
This means that there are 2
additional features.
18. • LI-RADS 2 - probably benign
• Atypical appearance of benign entities may be categorized as LR2
• LR2 cirrhosis-associated nodule is also included
• LI-RADS 3 - intermediate probability
• Nodules with features of focal nodular hyperplasia or hepatic
• Nodules of < 20mm without major features but with one or more
such as intralesional fat, T2 hyperintensity, diffusion restriction and HB
• Nodules above 20 mm and without major or ancillary features.
19. Hyper enhancing lesions without any additional feature like washout,
capsule or threshold growth.
20. • LI-RADS 4 - probably HCC
• Of all LR-4 observations about 74% are HCC and 81% are malignant
• LR-4 depends on the size of the lesion, the presence of APHE and the
major features
Small area of arterial enhancement
and washout
21. • LI-RADS 5 - definitely HCC
• Major features - which makes this a LR-5 lesion:
1.lesion > 20mm
2.non-rim APHE
3.Washout
• Diffusion restriction
22. FEATURES FAVORING HCC
• Non-enhancing capsule
• Nodule in nodule
• Mosaic structure
• Blood products in mass
• Fat in mass
23. • Nodule in nodule
• Fat containing lesion with arterial
• Within this lesion there is a nodule (arrow)
and a capsule.
• Fat in mass
• non-rim enhancement and macroscopic fat
• Mosaic architecture
• Hyperenhancement in the late arterial phase
24. • non-rim APHE in segment VI of the liver
• Washout on PV phase
• Enhancing capsule
• Microscopic fat on IP/OOP sequences, Diffusion restriction
25. LR-TIV - TUMOR IN VEIN
• Almost always the venous invasion by tumor is related
to a HCC.
• LR-TIV is a contraindication to liver transplantation.
• clues of possible venous invasion by tumor are:
• Presence of an occluded vein with ill-defined
margins
• Diffusion restriction
• Expansion of a vein
26. LR-M - MALIGNANT
• LR-M should be applied to malignant appearing lesions that do not have
the typical characteristics of HCC.
• Non-HCC malignant lesions either show:
• Targetoid appearance: rim-like APHE and peripheral washout and
delayed central enhancement.
• Non-targetoid with an infiltrative growth pattern.
• Marked diffusion restriction or necrosis.
27. rim enhancing mass in the late arterial phase in a patient with chronic hepatitis.
In the portal venous phase there is progressive peripheral enhancement.
28. LRTR-TREATED HCC
• LRTR non viable-
• without residual areas of
arterial enhancement or
washout
• LRTR viable-
• Area of arterial
enhancement and
washout adjacent to the
surgical clips
30. FIBROLAMELLAR CARCINOMA (FLC)
• uncommon malignant hepatocellular tumor but less aggressive than
HCC
• 10-20 cm large hepatic mass
• adolescents or young adults.
• Unlike HCCs they do not have an association with cirrhosis, alcoholism,
or hepatitis B/C infection
• Lobulated heterogeneous mass with a central scar in an otherwise
normal liver.
• Calcifications 30-60%
31. Central calcification and heterogenous enhancement in a lamellar pattern.
venous phase with hypodense central scar.
32. FOCAL NODULAR HYPERPLASIA (FNH)
• second most common tumor of the liver.
• The origin of focal nodular hyperplasia is thought to be due to a hyperplastic
growth of normal hepatocytes with a malformed biliary drainage system,
possibly in response to a pre-existent arteriovenous malformation.
• CT will show FNH as a vascular tumor, that will be hyperdense in the arterial
phase, except for the central scar
• Typical FNH with a central scar that is hypodense in the portal venous phase
and hyperdense in the equilibrium phase.
33.
34.
35. HYPER VASCULAR HEPATIC METASTASES
• Hyper vascular metastases are sometimes difficult to differentiate from
HCC because of their similar arterial enhancement pattern
• Multiplicity and targetoid enhancement pattern
• Multiple heterogenous lesions with mild peripheral enhancement in the
arterial phase.
• Mildly hypodense compared to adjacent liver parenchyma on the portal
phase
36.
37. HEPATIC ADENOMA
• Young woman using contraceptives
• Hepatocellular adenomas are large, well circumscribed encapsulated
tumors.
• Adenomas typically measure 8-15 cm and consist of sheets of well-
differentiated hepatocytes.
• Adenomas are prone to central necrosis and hemorrhage
• The pathogenesis is related to a generalized vascular ectasia that
develops due to exposure of the liver to oral contraceptives and related
synthetic steroids.
• CT will show most adenomas as a lesion with homogeneous enhancement
in the late arterial phase, that will stay isodense to the liver in later
phases.
38.
39.
40. CHOLANGIOCARCINOMA
• Cholangiocarcinoma usually presents as a mass of 5-20cm. In 65% there
are satellite nodules and in some cases punctate calcifications are seen
• peripheral location
• biliary obstruction
• delayed enhancement
• Infiltrating mass with capsular retraction and delayed persistent
enhancement is very typical for a cholangiocarcinoma.
• .
41. •Lesion is hypodens in the arterial and portal
venous phase with some peripheral enhancement.
•The lesion is hyperdense in the equilibrium phase
indicating dens fibrous tissue.
•The lesion causes retraction of the liver capsule
Editor's Notes
In these patients the formation of benign hyperplastic nodules may resemble HCC on imaging and cause false positive diagnoses.
category LR-3, which is intermediate probability or in LR-4, which is probable HCC or in category LR-5, which is definitely HCC.
