Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Chonnam National University Medical School, 8 Hack-Dong, Dong-Ku, Gwang-Ju 501-757, South Korea.

OBJECTIVE: 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.

CONCLUSION: 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.
