Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignant neoplasm of the liver. It develops with underlying liver cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis in most patients. Detection of HCC is critical in the follow-up of patients with chronically damaged livers. Although dynamic spiral computed tomography (CT) is a sensitive choice for detecting HCC (1), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is increasingly applied for the detection of all hepatic lesions, especially HCC lesions in patients with chronic liver disease, and the use of contrast agents has the potential to increase the sensitivity and spesificity of hepatic MR imaging.
