Enhancement of Focal Liver Lesions at Gadoxetic Acid–enhanced MR Imaging: Correlation with Histopathologic Findings and Spiral CT—Initial Observations

Abstract

Liver-specific enhancement of focal lesions is hepatocyte selective and correlates with various histopathologic diagnoses regarding presence of certain hepatocytic functions. Arterial and portal venous MR images obtained with gadoxetic acid are comparable to those of CT.
