Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

This article provides a brief overview of the current status of commonly employed diagnostic techniques--US, CT, MR, and PET--for the evaluation of liver metastases and HCC as well as a description of imaging in RF ablation and liver transplantation. The various advantages and limitations of the techniques have been outlined. At the present time, at our center, MRI is used most often to evaluate these liver pathologies, due to its high accuracy for lesion detection and characterization.
