Some of the lesions have MR characteristics typical for benign hemangiomas. No hepatic lesions which meet the criteria for HCC.The largest hypoechoic lesion seen on prior ultrasound in the left lobe the liver does not have an MR correlate, and it may have been due to focal fat deposition or liver heterogeneity.Paradoxical increased signal of the liver diffusely on in and out of phase images, suggestive of iron deposition.SPLEEN: No significant abnormality noted.PANCREAS: No significant abnormality noted.ADRENAL GLANDS: No significant abnormality noted.KIDNEYS, URETERS: Bilateral renal simple cysts.RETROPERITONEUM, LYMPH NODES: No significant abnormality noted.BOWEL, MESENTERY: No significant abnormality noted.BONES, SOFT TISSUES: No significant abnormality noted.OTHER: No significant abnormality noted.
