title: [Magnetic resonance imaging of malignant hepatic tumors in adults].
abstract: Recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had an important place in imaging techniques of malignant primitive tumors of the liver. For many authors, this technique appears as the reference modality for hepatic tumor evaluation. Nevertheless, MRI is considered to be primarily a problem-solving rather than a screening modality. This specific goal of this technique is due to a more precise characterization of the lesions compared to other imaging modalities. The authors, according to recent data in literature and their own experience, present MRI findings of the more frequent malignant hepatic tumors encountered in adult.
