Abstract
Liver imaging is one of the most important issues in abdominal radiology. This chapter describes typical imaging findings of focal and diffuse liver diseases using different imaging modalities such as ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and scintigraphy in selected cases.
