Abstract:
Hepatobiliary diseases are highly prevalent and diverse in China. Besides chronic viral hepatitis, the incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcohol liver disease has been increasing gradually year by year. In recent years, with the improvement of magnetic resonance software and hardware technology, individualized selection of parameters, transformation and combination of pulse sequences, and the use of new contrast agents, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an irreplaceable examination method for hepatobiliary diseases, but still faces great challenges. This article reviews the application of MRI in hepatobiliary diseases and related research difficulties and how to further increase clinical research level in future.
