| Abstract | ||
| Background: Despite new advances in liver imaging, it is still difficult to identify and classify hepatic focal lesions. Particularly in cancer patients, where accurate tumor staging depends on the definition of the hepatic focal lesion for best treatment planning. Aim and objectives: was to evaluate the significance of Dynamic Magnetic Resonance identification and description of hypo-vascular hepatic tumor. subjects and methods: Our current research comprised 50 patients, 34 men and 16 women, who had hepatic lesions that were detected using variety of imaging modalities as ultrasound, CT scan, dynamic and diffusion MRI. Results: On non -contrast MRI 26 lesions were detected in our 21 patients. Different signal intensities were displayed by these lesions on non -contrast MRI, we found that hypo-intensity in T1; is the commonest signal while, in contrary, hyper-intensity the commonest in T2 WI. Conclusion: Reduced need for needless laparotomies for incurable illness may change patient treatment and result in considerable cost savings when liver metastases are detected as early as possible. | ||
