Small hepatic lesions found on single-phase helical CT in patients with malignancy: Diagnostic capability of breath-hold, multisection fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) MR imaging using a half-fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) sequence

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic capability of breath‐hold, multisection fluid‐attenuated inversion‐recovery (FLAIR) imaging using a half‐Fourier acquisition single‐shot turbo spin‐echo (HASTE) sequence in combination with T2‐weighted fast spin‐echo (FSE) magnetic resonance (MR) sequences for small hepatic lesions found on CT in patients with malignancy. Materials and Methods This study included 48 patients with extrahepatic malignancy who underwent both CT and MR examinations. There were a total of 112 small hepatic lesions (73 cysts and 39 liver metastases,
