Unenhanced T1-and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)offers useful information for the diagnosis of hepatic nodules in cirrhosis that is not obtainable by contrast-enhanced CT. Gadolinium-enhanced MRI reinforces the usefulness of liver MRI by providing additional information on the hemodynamics of hepatic nodules. In the presentation, the usefulness of MRI in the radiologic diagnosis of focal hepatic lesions and cirrhosis was described, showing updated imaging techniques, application of computer-aided diagnosis, and future perspective.
