BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE Healthcare organizations are increasingly required to measure and report the quality of care they deliver, for regulatory and reimbursement pur- poses.1–5 Such quality evaluations are often based on insurance claims data,6–8 which have been shown to accurately identify patients with certain diagnoses,9–12 but to be less accurate in identifying services provided, compared to other data sources.6–8 13 14

Mis- interpretation of pseudolesions may have severe impact on the choice of treatment, especially in patients suffer- ing from primary liver cancer or possible liver metas- tases. Recognition of these pseudolesions, therefore, is of high importance in daily radiological practice. Recogni- tion can be improved by understanding the pathohisto- logical origin of the parafissural pseudolesion. There are several hypotheses concerning the cause of the liver pseudolesions. The pseudolesions show a typical pattern in different phases of inflow of intravenous contrast material. In unenhanced or arterial phase im- ages the pseudolesion is not often identified [2]. In portal venous phase CT the parafissural pseudolesions have been described more often, in approximately 20% of cases [1–3]. This may be explained by the vascular hy- pothesis meaning that a ‘third inflow’ of blood from the
