Focal liver lesions evaluated by MR imaging.

چکیده
Magnetic resonance signal intensity of focal liver lesions is the result of their histological and cytological features. Therefore, analysis of lesion signal intensity and enhancement patterns obtained with magnetic resonance imaging is essential for the differential diagnosis of focal liver lesions. In this article, we review the magnetic resonance imaging features of the most common focal liver lesions.

Characterization of Focal Liver Lesions with Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide-Enhanced MR Imaging: Value of Distributional Phase T1-Weighted Imaging
OBJECTIVE To determine the potential value of distributional-phase T1-weighted ferumoxides-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for tissue characterization of focal liver lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ferumoxides-enhanced MR imaging was performed using a 1.5-T system in 46 patients referred for evaluation of known or suspected hepatic malignancies. Seventy-three focal liver lesions (30 h...

PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of gadoxetic acid disodium-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for the detection of focal liver lesions, with results of histopathologic examination and/or intraoperative ultrasonography used as a standard of reference. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred sixty-nine patients who were known to have or suspected of having focal liver lesions and we...
متن کاملApplication of an artificial neural network to the computer-aided differentiation of focal liver disease in MR imaging.
The differentiation of focal liver lesions in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is primarily based on the intensity and homogeneity of lesions with different imaging sequences. However, these imaging findings are falsely interpreted in some patients because of the complexities involved. Our aim is to establish a computer-aided diagnosis system named LiverANN for classifying the pathologies of foc...

PURPOSE To evaluate whether mangafodipir trisodium (Mn-DPDP)-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging surpasses dual-phase spiral computed tomography (CT) in differentiating focal liver lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred forty-five patients who had or were suspected of having focal liver lesions were included in a multicenter study and underwent dual-phase spiral CT and enhanced MR im...
متن کاملCystic focal liver lesions in the adult: differential CT and MR imaging features.
Cystic lesions of the liver in the adult can be classified as developmental, neoplastic, inflammatory, or miscellaneous. Although in some cases it is difficult to distinguish these entities with imaging criteria alone, certain cystic focal liver lesions have classic computed tomographic (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features, which are important for the radiologist to understand and ...
