J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1996 Jul-Aug;20(4):653-5. doi: 10.1097/00004728-199607000-00030.

Abstract

We report a case of hepatocellular carcinoma with a portal vein thrombus that showed early arterial enhancement of dual-phase helical CT, which permitted a specific diagnosis of tumor portal venous thrombus.
