A 55-year-old female with pancreatic cancer and indeterminate lesion on CECT but diagnosis of liver metastasis on EOB-MRI (arrows). There is a vascular blush in segment 6 on arterial phase of CT scan (a), measuring 9 mm. On the portal phase of CT scan (b), a subtle, indeterminate low-attenuation lesion is evident. On EOB-MRI, a mildly T2 hyperintense nodule (c) demonstrates peripheral enhancement with central hypoenhancement in arterial (d) and portal (e) phases and marked hypointensity on the hepatobiliary phase (f). The patient was excluded from surgery, and the percutaneous focal liver lesion biopsy confirmed metastatic adenocarcinoma
