Modalities
Choice of modality
For the liver, the initial imaging of choice is generally as follows:
- Ultrasonography of the liver for suspected cirrhosis and/or portal hypertension.[1]
- CT of the liver, often as part of a general abdominal CT, is generally the investigation of choice to look for metastases of recently diagnosed cancers in the abdomen.[2]
- MRI of the liver is indicated in hypervascular lesions that may represent a focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH).[3]
