    Abstract

    The use of contrast in MRI improves liver lesion detection. This is possible because of recent advances in image acquisition techniques that allow for excellent spatial and temporal resolution. Contrast agents that reflect the issue composition provide further information that can assist in characterizing the lesions. This article discusses the behavior and limitations of each agent, enabling the radiologists to optimize MRI as a problem-solving tool in the assessment of liver lesions.
