[Characterization of hepatic neoplasms: contribution of magnetic resonance].
The reliability of MR imaging in the diagnosis and characterization of space occupying lesions affecting the liver are discussed in this study. We discuss the role of MR imaging in the diagnosis of these tumours and its advantages compared with other available techniques such as ultrasonography and CT. We also discuss the results of MR in the characterization of focal neoplastic masses.
