Hepatic cyst in an 80-year-old man. (A) o-1.5T-1000-, (B) o-3T-1000-, (C) c-1000-, (D) c-1500 DWIs. The cyst (arrow) was isointense on o1.5T-1000-, showed mild high signal intensity on o-3T and c-1000-, and was isointense on c-1500 DWI.

4. Fig. 3
Contrast ratio (CR) of non-complicated hepatic cysts on o-1.5T-1000-, o-3T-1000-, c-1000-, and c-1500 DWIs. The solid line indicates the mean CR value in each group. The CR was higher on o-3T than on o-1.5T-1000 DWI (p<0.01). No significant difference was found between o-1.5T and c-1000 images (p=0.07). There was no significant difference between o-1.5T and c-1500 DWIs (p=0.96).

5. Fig. 4
Contrast ratio (CR) of non-complicated hepatic cysts smaller than 20mm on o-1.5T-1000-, o-3T-1000-, c-1000-, and c-1500 DWIs. The solid line indicates the mean CR value in each group. The CR was higher on o-3T than on o-1.5T-1000 DWI (p=0.03). No significant difference was found between o-1.5T and c-1000 images (p=0.22). The difference between o-1.5T and c-1500 images was not significant (p=0.86).

6. Fig. 5
Contrast ratio (CR) of non-complicated hepatic cysts larger than 20mm on o-1.5T-1000-, o-3T-1000-, c-1000-, and c-1500 DWIs. The solid line indicates the mean CR value in each group. The CR on o-3T tended to be higher compared to that on o-1.5T-1000 DWIs, but not significant (p=0.08). The CR was significantly higher on c than o-1.5T-1000 DWIs (p=0.04). The difference between o-1.5T and c-1500 images was not significant (p=1.00).

7. Fig. 6
Contrast ratio of non-complicated hepatic cysts on images obtained with b=0s/mm2 at 1.5T and 3T (TE=60 and 70ms). The solid line indicates the mean CR value in each group. The CR was higher on 3T images with TE 70ms and 60ms than on 1.5T DWIs (p<0.01) and significantly lower on 3T scans with TE 60ms than TE 70ms (p=0.04).
