Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • The liver is susceptible to a wide range of pathologies.
  • Accurate diagnosis of liver lesions is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common benign, malignant, and infectious liver lesions.
  • To illustrate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of these lesions.
  • To emphasize the role of MRI in liver disease investigation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of common liver lesions.
  • Description of MRI characteristics for each lesion type.

Main Results:

  • Detailed descriptions of benign, malignant, and infectious liver lesions.
  • Illustrations of MRI findings for common liver pathologies.

Conclusions:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers high accuracy and safety for liver lesion detection and characterization.
  • MRI should be the primary imaging modality for investigating liver diseases.
