Abstract: Objective To compare the efficacy of MRI and multi-slice CT(MSCT) for characterization of liver isolation nodular lesions in cirrhosis patients .Methods A total of 64 patients with 64 lesions ,underwent MSCT and MRI .Chi-square tests were used to compare the performances of MSCT and MRI in characterization of lesions .Results The detection rate ,accuracy ,sensitivity ,spe-cificity ,positive predictive and negative predictie of MSCT and MRI were 76 .56% ,65 .31% ,37 .50% ,78 .79% ,72 .22% ,46 .15%and 87 .50% ,85 .71% ,66 .67% ,97 .14% ,82 .93% ,93 .33% respectively .There were statistical difference in accuracy ,specificity , positie predictie between MSCT and MRI (P< 0 .05) .Conclusion MRI is superior to MSCT in accuracy ,specificity ,and positive predictive for characterization of liver isolation noduler lesions .
