Abstract:
In this study, we reviewed the data from 71 cases of hepatic hemangiomas (146 lesions). It was found that magnetic resonance imaging was much better than ultrasound (US) and computed tomograpgy (CT) in the diagnosis of hepatic hemangiomas. For US and CT, most of the undetected were in the left lobe and the areas near the surface of which right lobe; Most of the misdiagnosed were smaller than 3cm or larger than 4cm, many of them were misdiagnosed as hepatic cancer. The proportion of atypical lesions were 33.3%, 39.4%, 1.4% by US, CT and MRI, respectively. So, in our opinion, MRI is the best way in the diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma, especially for the atypical lesions.
