dc.description.abstract | We evaluated suspected hepatic lesions in 30 patients using both nongated spin-echo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on a 0.35 T superconducting magnet and contrast-enhanced dynamic incremental computed tomography (CT). In the 27 patients with focal lesions, both modalities detected abnormalities in 26 patients. Liver lesions were equally well demonstrated using MRI and CT in 15 patients, better demonstrated by CT in 11 patients, and better demonstrated by MRI in 1 patient. Small lesions (<2 cm) were much better demonstrated using CT than MRI; this was significant when knowledge of the precise extent of disease was necessary for planning surgical therapy or for evaluating response to chemotherapy. Five patients had significant extrahepatic disease detected by CT; MRI identified extrahepatic abnormalities in only 2 of these 5 patients. We conclude that at the current time CT is more useful than nongated spin-echo MRI in the evaluation of suspected hepatic masses. | en_US |
