title: Nuclear magnetic resonance and computed tomographic angiography in the detection of hepatic metastases.
abstract: Occasionally, routine computed tomography will fail to demonstrate substantial deposits of metastatic neoplasm in the liver. Repeating the CT scan with selective hepatic arterial infusion of contrast media may demonstrate these lesions. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging may also provide the same information, avoiding the necessity of an invasive procedure.
