Malignant lesions

The liver can be target of a variety of focal and diffuse lesions. The major demand on diagnostic liver imaging lies in the detection and characterization of liver lesions as early as possible, which is important for further treatment decision and may give your patients a better prognosis.

The most common types of malignant liver lesions can be classified into three different types:

Primovist

Search

Liver MRI with Primovist®

Typical T1-weighted MR liver image

High diagnostic accuracy due to liver-specific contrast media

Benign lesion

After Primovist® injection, T1-weighted sequence, liver-specific phase (after 20 min): The lesion is hypointense compared to the surrounding liver parenchyma

Cavernous hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver
