The focal hepatic hot spot sign appears as an area of increased radiopharmaceutical uptake of the quadrate lobe of the liver in the arteial an veinous phase. This sign seen on CT is due to obstruction of the superior vena cava and portosystemic venous shunt between the superior vena cava and the left portal vein via the thoracic and internal para-umbilical veins.
