Technique
Requires a phased array torso coil.
Basic screening
- Morphology: verify size, borders and contours.
- Liver parenchyma: Scan for steatosis, iron deposition
- Focal lesions: Scan for nodules
- Biliary ducts:
- Hepatic veins
- Portal vein
Search for extrahepatic findings
- Lymph nodes in hepatic hilum.
- Signs of portal hypertension: ascites, splenomegaly; portosystemic collateral vessels
Report
LI-RADS (Liver Imaging and Reporting Data System) system should be used only if patient has a high risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis B or current/prior HCC).
Lesions and diseases
- Fatty liver disease: Liver steatosis, NASH;
- Liver iron deposition
- Cirrhosis
- Autoimmune hepatitis
- Primary biliary cirrhosis
- Primary sclerosing cholangitis
- Hepatic hemangioma
- Hepatic adenoma
- Focal nodular hyperplasia
- Hepatocellular carcinoma
- Cholangiocarcinoma
