Liver MR Imaging 

Polycystic Liver Disease

Liver MR Imaging is characterized by:

• Superior soft tissue contrast
• High resolution detailed images
• Multiplanar imaging
• Excellent depiction of benign and malignant liver disease
• Safe imaging without radiation exposure

Hypovascular Liver Metastases

Lung Cancer

Gadolinium-enhanced 3D LAVA

MRI shows innumerable hypovascular liver metastases.

Hypovascular metastases are best depicted on portal venous phase images.

3D LAVA images provide thin section gadolinium enhanced images with outstanding detail and image sharpness.

Hypervascular Liver Metastases

Pancreatic Cancer

Gadolinium-enhanced 3D LAVA

MRI shows multiple ring enhancing liver lesions.

Hypervasular metastases are best depicted on arterial phase images obtained immediately following IV gadolinium injection.

Diffusion Weighted MR Image

Lung Cancer

Diffusion weighted imaging provides a new way to evaluate liver lesions.

These images are obtained during a single breath hold using a single shot spin-echo EPI sequence.

DWI assesses areas of altered microscopic water migration. B values for liver DWI is 20.
