Fig. 2

Time-associated change in liver-to-spleen signal intensity ratio (LSR). (a) Median LSR in the pre-contrast phase is 1.43 (range, 0.90–1.84). (b) After contrast medium injection, the increase in spleen signal intensity immediately decreases the LSR. (c) One minute after contrast medium injection, the signal intensity of liver parenchyma is similar to that of spleen parenchyma, representing the equilibrium phase. (d–f) After the equilibrium phase, LSR continuously increases but the slope gradually decreases
