Abstract

The development of the magnetic resonance has allowed to study and characterize the hepatic diseases with greater sensitivity and specifi city than the other methods of study, avoiding the risks of ionizing radiation. We discuss the main indications of the magnetic resonance for the study of the benign and malign lesions of the liver, like hemangioma, focal nodular hiperplasia, adenoma, hepatocarcinoma, colangiocarcinoma and metastasis, also the utility of the magnetic resonance in the diagnosis of the diffuse hepatic disease.
