From: Tumor in the veins: an abdominal perspective with an emphasis on CT and MR imaging
A 76-year-old male with known cirrhosis presents with elevated liver enzymes and alpha fetoprotein (AFP) levels. a Axial postcontrast T1W MR image demonstrates the HCC focus within the right liver lobe (arrow) with associating tumor of the main and right portal veins (arrowhead). Note contrast enhancement within the thrombus and its expansile nature extending outside the confines of the portal vein. b DWI sequence shows high signal intensity representing diffusion restriction of both the main tumor (arrow) and its intravenous component (arrowhead)
