Gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging of traumatic hepatic injury.
OBJECTIVE
Our objective was to evaluate the use of contrast-enhanced MR imaging in the examination of a limited number of patients with hepatic trauma who had also undergone CT.


CONCLUSIONS
The conspicuity of most lesions was better on contrast-enhanced MR imaging than on unenhanced MR imaging. Also, conspicuity on contrast-enhanced MR imaging was at least subjectively equivalent to that on CT.
