Magnetic Resonanance Imaging of the Liver (Including Biliary Contrast Agents) —Part 2: Protocols for Liver Magnetic Resonanance Imaging and Characterization of Common Focal Liver Lesions

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a fundamental tool for the noninvasive evaluation of liver pathologies. The anatomical position, the mobility with respiration, and the peculiar hemodynamics of the liver present several issues that have taken advantage from technological advances in MRI technology in the last decade, in particular regarding hardware, software, and contrast media (CM). We provided an overview of these topics in the first part of the review.
