Abstract: | With modern imaging technologies, including helical CT and MR imaging, the evaluation of liver morphology, blood flow and detection and characterization of liver neoplasms is possible in a noninvasive manner. Experiences in numerous institutions have established that both imaging methods are highly accurate in diagnosing hepatic pathology. Three-dimensional evaluation is feasible with fast imaging techniques such as multislice CT. With tissue-specific MR contrast agents such as SPIO, our capability is enhanced not only with respect to lesion detection but also lesion characterization. |
