2. Figure 1
Post hoc image analysis could retrospectively identify lesions (pink) within the liver (blue) on the water-only DIXON MRI scans of all 7 patients who developed hepatocellular carcinoma before the clinical diagnosis was made. Using in-house software (MATLAB, The MathWorks Inc., Natick, MA), the DIXON water-only images of the pre- and post-magnetic resonance imaging scan sessions were thresholded at 80% of the mean liver intensity to automatically segment the lesions from the liver tissue. These images were then 3-dimensionally rendered.
