Characterization of focal hepatic masses by dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging: Findings in 311 lesions

This study aimed to determine the overall accuracy of known enhancement patterns for the characterization of a large series of focal hepatic masses on dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) images. Breath-hold T 1-weighted images of the liver acquired before intravenous gadolinium adminis...

Zusammenfassung:	This study aimed to determine the overall accuracy of known enhancement patterns for the characterization of a large series of focal hepatic masses on dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) images. Breath-hold T 1-weighted images of the liver acquired before intravenous gadolinium administration and serially over 6–10 min after contrast injection were acquired in
