  • To discuss the role of MR in assessing liver perfusion abnormalities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established and emerging MR imaging sequences.
  • Discussion of sequence parameters relevant to diffuse liver disease evaluation.
  • Integration of imaging findings with pathological processes.

Main Results:

  • Specific MR sequences are effective in characterizing lipid accumulation in the liver.
  • MR imaging can accurately quantify iron concentration, aiding in diagnosis of iron overload disorders.
  • Perfusion imaging provides insights into altered blood flow in diffuse liver conditions.

Conclusions:

  • MR imaging is a versatile tool for the comprehensive evaluation of diffuse liver diseases.
  • Tailored MR sequences enable precise characterization of metabolic, deposition, and perfusion abnormalities.
  • Advanced MR techniques improve diagnostic accuracy and guide clinical decision-making.
