Incremental Value of Liver MR Imaging in Patients with Potentially Curable Colorectal Hepatic Metastasis Detected at CT: A Prospective Comparison of Diffusion-weighted Imaging, Gadoxetic Acid–enhanced MR Imaging, and a Combination of Both MR Techniques

Abstract

Gadoxetic acid-enhanced MR and combined MR are more accurate than CT in detecting colorectal hepatic metastases, have an incremental value when added to CT alone for detecting additional metastases, and can be routinely performed in patients with potentially curable hepatic metastases detected with CT.
