The role of MRI in Detection and Characterization of Benign Hepatic Focal Lesions

Abstract

The benign and malignant hepatic foci are a common disease in recent times The most benign lesions are in non cirrhotic liver. The main goals of MRI liver techniques are detection and characterization of equivocal hepatic focal lesions with indeterminate results by other diagnostic modalities e.g. US or CT. MRI having many sequences markedly helps in the detection of small lesions and in reaching the diagnosis easily even without contrast injection
