摘要: Focal liver lesions are common in the general population. Radiology (imaging) plays a pivotal role for diagnosis, staging, treatment planning, and follow-up of focal lesions. To maximize lesion detection characterization, imaging needs to be performed with appropriate equipment by using protocols carefully designed on basis underlying clinical context. In addition, decision an modality cannot based diagnostic accuracy test solely but must also consider patient safety cost-effectiveness.
