title: [The place of MRI in the hepatic tumors].
abstract: MRI semeiology of hepatic tumors was assessed with a retrospective study of 132 patients explored between May 1998 and December 2001. MR examinations were acquired with a one Tesla operating system. All images were acquired by a T2-weighted fast spin echo MR and dynamic flash MR with Gadolinium. Hemangiomas demonstrate characteristic signs in most cases, as was described in the literature. However, adenoma, hepatocellular carcinoma and metastases have various and less specific features.
