title: [Predictive value of magnetic resonance tomography in comparison with sonography and computed tomography in the diagnosis of focal liver lesions].
abstract: Ultrasonography and computed tomography are widely used for the diagnosis of focal lesions of the liver. However, the possibilities for tumor characterization and determination of potential malignancy are limited in many cases. Evaluation by magnetic resonance imaging shows a good correlation of relaxation time with the amount of stroma as a proportion of the total cell content of a lesion. This allows differentiation for a number of lesions. Thus, the combination of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging could provide the ideal diagnostic procedure in many cases.
