Abstract

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is becoming the non-invasive imaging technique of choice for the liver. This is due to the recent development of what has been called ‘advanced MR’. Advanced MR imaging includes modern techniques such as gradientecho imaging, fast spin echo imaging and fat suppression, as well as MR contrast agents that improve lesion conspicuity and provide physiological information1,2.
