Role of MRI in Characterization of Benign Hepatic Focal Lesions
Journal Title: The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 70, Issue 0
Abstract
Background: nowadays, magnetic resonance plays a key role in management of liver lesions, using a radiation-free technique and a safe contrast agent profile. The heightened soft-tissue resolution and sensitivity to intravenous contrast agents provided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) makes it an invaluable problem-solving tool for fully characterizing focal liver lesions (FLL). Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences have been shown to be an emerging contributor for liver MRI and are being incorporated in most abdominal MR protocols.
