Abstract:
Objective To evluate Feridex-enhanced MRI in the diagnosis of focal hepatic lesions. Methods Conventional plain and Feridex-enhanced MR scanning was performed in 20 cases with suspected hepatic neoplasm.The number of lesions on T 2WI ,and the signal intensity of liver and lesions demonstrated on plain and enhanced scans were observed and analyzed.Results After the injection of Feridex,the signal intensity of normal liver tissue reduced significantly,while the signal intensity of lesions showed no marked changes,Feridex-enhanced MRI clearly displayed more lesions on T 2WI than plain scanning did.Conclusion Feridex-enhanced MRI is very sensitive in detecting focal hepatic lesions.
