## Abstract Nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH), a rare condition that is commonly associated with noncirrhotic portal hypertension, is not well described in the MR literature. Three patients at two institutions were identified who had both abdominal MR imaging and pathologic evidence of NRH. Al

Abstract
Ten cases of hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) were studied with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Proof of diagnosis was by needle biopsy or followβup of as long as 5 years. Both short TR/TE and long TR/TE images were obtained. The most common finding was isointenβsity of the lesion relative to liver parenchyma with all pulse sequences. A central scar was seen in only one patient and was hyperintense on long TR/TE images. Slight hyperintensity of the lesion on short TR/TE and long TR/TE images was seen in two cases. Textural heterogeneity was present in only one of these. The most common presentation in our series was a visually isointense lesion relative to liver on short TR/TE images and an isointense or slightly hyperintense lesion on long TR/TE images. A review of the literature and the present findings suggest that FNH has a variable appearance on MR images.
