Figure 12. Transverse contrast enhanced image from (A) dynamic series and (B) maps of T0, (C) kfp and (D) blood volume (BV) in a patient with metastatic colonic carcinoma. Metastatic deposits are seen in the right and left lobes. The T0 map shows early contrast arrival compared with normal liver in both metastases. Maps of kfp (C) and BV (D) show a peripheral rim of high kfp and BV in both metastases with low values in the tumour centre. This tumour rim shows K values that appear lower than those of normal liver parenchyma and BV values that appear lower.
