Liver MR I CAD speeds workflow, helps standardize interpretation:Software frees radiologists from the need to manually align previous and new studies, avoids misregistration problems, identifies quantifiable data

摘要

Magnetic resonance imaging is an established and important modality for the evaluation, assessment, and management of liver disease. It is one of the most sensitive tests for the detection and characterization of liver disease and provides detailed anatomic information regarding the relationship of liver lesions to major vascular and biliary structures, significantly aiding in surgical planning.At our university-based practice, which is a major liver transplant center, we primarily evaluate patients with chronic cirrhosis being screened for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), being followed postsurgery or postablation for HCC, undergoing pretransplant evaluation, or awaiting liver transplant.
