Cross-sectional imaging of the liver.
The liver can be affected by a number of conditions that can involve the liver focally or diffusely. CT and MRI are reliable techniques for demonstrating these abnormalities, and both imaging tools play an important role in the clinical evaluation of the patients. However, each technique provides different information, and the most appropriate cross-sectional technique used should be tailored in each instance to the individual patient situation.
