Evaluation of liver masses is usually done with a combination of scans including an unenhanced scan (A) and then two postcontrast scans: one obtained quickly (hepatic-arterial phase) (B) and a second (portal-venous phase) slightly delayed (C). The combination of three scans is called a triple-phase scan. This case shows the typical findings of a focal hepatocellular carcinoma. Most are low density (hypodense) or the same density as normal liver (isodense) without contrast (solid white arrow in A), enhance on the arterial phase with IV contrast (hyperdense) (dotted white arrow in B) and then return to hypodense or isodense on the venous phase (dashed white arrow in C).
