definition

[LIRADS] Cirrhosis-associated nodule with higher iron concentration than surrounding parenchyma. Histologically, iron-rich cirrhosis-associated nodules usually represent cirrhotic (regenerative) or dysplastic nodules. As imaging cannot reliably differentiate non-dysplastic from dysplastic iron-rich nodules, iron-rich nodules should be categorized LR2 or greater.
