Abstract:
The liver is one of the most easily metastasized target organs of many malignant tumors and the proportion of metastatic tumors is higher than that of intrahepatic primary tumors. The existence of liver metastases is an important factor in the treatment of malignant tumors. Therefore, the detection and characterization of liver metastases are particularly important. The main imaging methods for hepatic metastases include ultrasound (US), computed tomography(CT), magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), positron emission computed tomography (PET/CT) and PET/MRI. In this paper, the advantages and limitations of the above imaging methods in the diagnosis of liver metastasis are analyzed, and the application progress of various imaging methods is emphasized.
