Magnetic resonance imaging of focal liver lesions: approach to imaging diagnosis
Hepatology.
2011 Dec.
Abstract
This article is a review of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of incidental focal liver lesions. This review provides an overview of liver MRI protocol, diffusion-weighted imaging, and contrast agents. Additionally, the most commonly encountered benign and malignant lesions are discussed with emphasis on imaging appearance and the diagnostic performance of MRI based on a review of the literature.
