Figure 2. On T2W SS TSE(axial plane; a) and SS SE-EPI DWI with b = 0 s mm–2 (axial plane; b), the attention is drawn to two small hyperintense nodules (white arrow and white arrowhead). These hyperintensities are hard to differentiate from the surrounding intrahepatic vessels. When evaluating the SS SE-EPI DWI images (mainly b = 20 s mm–2 (axial plane; c) and b = 300 s mm–2 (axial plane; d)), these nodules are clearly displayed as hyperintense nodules, contrasting with the surrounding intrahepatic vessels, which show a strong signal intensity decrease. On the SS SE-EPI DWI image with b = 800 s mm–2 (axial plane; e), a low signal-to-noise ratio hampers the evaluation of the liver. Hepatic segmentectomy confirmed the presence of two small liver metastases in this hepatic region.
