Abstract

The following is an illustrative review of common pitfalls in liver MRI that may challenge interpretation. This article reviews common technical and diagnostic challenges encountered when interpreting dynamic multiphasic T₁-weighted imaging, hepatobiliary phase imaging, and diffusion-weighted imaging of the liver. Additionally, each section includes suggestions for avoiding diagnostic and technical errors. Level of Evidence: 5. Technical Efficacy: Stage 2. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;49:41–58.
