Focal liver lesions occur commonly and with varying histology, each requiring radically different management. There are a multitude of imaging modalities currently being used for detecting and characterizing focal liver neoplasms. The primary modalities include ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and rarely, angiography. CT and MRI have benefited from rapid technologic advances, and MRI, in particular, from the advent of new contrast agents.
