We found that dynamic study is the gold standard in detection of recurrent lesions. Well defined nodular enhancement, thick irregular marginal enhancement or gross enlargement of the lesion with arterial phase enhancement and contrast wash out were considered positive for malignancy. We also found that ADC measurement is reliable in differentiation between the recurrent malignant lesions and the post treatment reactive and vascular tissue changes with significant statistical differences between them UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
