Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an extremely useful modality for evaluation of
the complex pathophysiology of the liver. The high degree of soft tissue contrast
afforded by MRI accurately detects and characterizes both focal and diffuse abnormalities
of the liver. In this article we present a pictorial review of MRI of the liver.
