Abstract
There has been a rise in the incidence of accidentally discovered focal liver lesions (FLL) due to the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging. Having a reliable method for detecting and characterizing Focal Liver Lesions (FLL) is crucial for ensuring appropriate patient therapy. Within the realm of FLL, attaining the maximal level of imaging precision is crucial in order to avoid unnecessary biopsies, which may result in post-procedural complications. In recent years, there has been a substantial rise in the advancement of cutting-edge imaging techniques. Currently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential in the treatment of liver abnormalities. This imaging method utilizes a radiation-free technique and has a safe contrast agent profile. MRI plays a crucial role in accurately characterizing FLL without the need for intrusive procedures. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approach has the capacity to provide comprehensive and highly precise diagnostic information, while also avoiding the use of any potentially hazardous ionizing radiation. Because of these specific attributes, magnetic resonance imaging has emerged as the preferred technique for the non-invasive assessment of localized liver lesions. This study focuses on the role of contrast agents that specifically target hepatocytes and provides a comprehensive overview of the most advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) liver procedure. In addition, we provide a concise overview of the many types of sequences, as well as the unique attributes of imaging patients that exhibit non-cooperative behavior. This page provides a comprehensive analysis of the imaging features of both benign and malignant FLLs. Additionally, it includes a diagrammatic representation of a practical MRI technique.
