Hepatocellular carcinoma: MR imaging.

Thirty patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were examined by MRI. Distinctive findings of HCC such as the presence of fatty degeneration, a capsule, mosaic pattern, daughter nodules and tumor thrombi in major veins were noted in 6, 13, 1, 10 and 9 cases or 20%, 43%, 3%, 33% and 30% respectively.

CT findings in melioidosis.

CT findings in 5 patients with melioidosis were presented. Lungs lesions consisted of upper lobe infiltration with a small thin-walled cavity in 2 cases and lower lobe consolidation without cavity in another case. Pleural lesions may be seen as a small pleural nodule, effusion with associated lung lesion, hydropneumothorax as a complication or the end stage fibrothorax due to chronic empyema thoracis.
