Abstract
This article reviews the imaging spectrum of cirrhosis-related nodules on CT and MRI and differentiates between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and common focal lesions that can simulate HCC in the cirrhotic liver. Knowledge of cirrhotic nodules and focal lesions and how they mimic HCC will improve the diagnosis and characterization of focal lesions in cirrhotic liver on CT and MRI.
