MRI Evaluation of Focal Liver Lesions
Abstract: The present study was done to study the characteristics and enhancement patterns of focal liver lesions associated with the importance of post-processing subtraction images, whenever required. MRI sequences with tissue-specific contrast agents helps in effective lesion detection and accurate tumour characterization. It is a retrospective and observational study of total 30 patients studied for 12 months to evaluate benign & malignant focal liver lesions referred to the department of Radiodiagnosis at LTMGH, Sion, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Basic protocols of MRI liver were obtained with hepatobiliary phase and also generated post-processing subtraction images, if required. MRI dynamic contrast study is the imaging of choice for diagnosis of focal liver lesions showing high-quality liver imaging with automated contrast-detection methods essential for the detection and characterization of many hepatic lesions.
Keywords: MRI, hepatic lesions, enhancement patterns, post-processing subtraction images
