Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an essential role in hepatic imaging. Currently, MRI has been proven to provide the overall most accurate detection and characterization of primary and malignant liver lesions because of its improved separation of liver enhancement phases and superb spatial resolution. In addition, new MRI liver specific contrast agents and techniques, such as diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), further improve lesion detection and characterization. Furthermore, unlike CT, MRI does not carry the risk of patient radiation exposure.
